Characterizing Noise in Quantum Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2012-07-26)In practice, quantum systems are not completely isolated from their environment and the resulting system-environment interaction can lead to information leakage from the system. As a result, if a quantum system is to be ... -
Gaining Information About a Quantum Channel Via Twirling
(University of Waterloo, 2008-07-31)Finding correctable encoding that protects against a quantum process is in general a difficult task. Two main obstacles are that an exponential number of experiments are needed to gain complete information about the quantum ... -
Some Theory and Applications of Probability in Quantum Mechanics
(University of Waterloo, 2012-07-19)This thesis investigates three distinct facets of the theory of quantum information. The first two, quantum state estimation and quantum process estimation, are closely related and deal with the question of how to estimate ...
