Abstract
Noise and information, often believed to be opposite notions, have a common denominator: stochastic processes. It is the interest of an observer that turns a stochastic process into a noise source or into an information source. At the heart of any stochastic process is randomness, which naturally leads to the idea of “many possibilities”. This, in turn, suggests varying degrees of complication, hence the notion of complexity. In recent years these concepts have been applied all the way down to the quantum scale, giving rise to a variety of intriguing phenomena and potential applications. The aim of this conference, following up a fisrt edition held in 2007, is to bring together scientists working with stochastic processes in the quantum domain to exchange recent advances in the fields of quantum statistical mechanics and quantum information, emphasizing interdisciplinary aspects and methods. Topics Covered: Quantum fluctuations, Quantum trajectories, Quantum measurements, Quantum entropies, Entanglement, Quantum computing, Quantum Computational Models Quantum communication, Quantum error correction, Quantum chaos, Quantum devices, Quantum control, Quantum stochastic resonance, Quantum nonlinear dynamics, Quantum networks, Complexity, Quantum bio effects, Quantum SimulationsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
