QUANTUM TOOLS FOR INFORMATION, COMPUTATION AND RESEARCH

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Seville Province (NUTS ES618); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 48,400; EU co-financing EUR 38,720 (co-financing rate 80%), as stated by the source. Runs 2018-01-01 to 2020-12-31. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its title uses a quantum word. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): QUANTUM INFORMATION IS NOW A MATURE INTERDISCIPLINARY FIELD WITH THE CHALLENGES OF PRODUCING REAL TECHNOLOGIES AND KEEP EXPANDING THE FRONTIER OF KNOWLEDGE. IN THIS CONTEXT, OUR PROJECT FOCUSES IN THE SECOND CHALLENGE AND TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE RECENT TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS THAT ALLOWS FOR TESTS THAT WERE NOT POSSIBLE IN THE PAST. THE PROJECT IS DIVIDED INTO TWO LINES OF RESEARCH. ONE OF THEM DEVOTED TO INVESTIGATING NEW APPROACHES TO QUANTUM INFORMATION AND COMPUTATION AND PURSUING THE FOLLOWING FOUR SPECIFIC TARGETS: 1.1. DEVICE-INDEPENDENT INFORMATION PROCESSING BASED ON THE THERMODYNAMICAL COST OF CLASSICALLY SIMULATING QUANTUM PHENOMENA 1.2. ``MEASUREMENT ONLY'' QUANTUM COMPUTATION 1.3. SEQUENTIAL MEASUREMENTS AND ENTANGLEMENT 1.4. NEW IDEAS THE OTHER LINE OF RESEARCH IS DEVOTED TO THE SEARCH OF NEW PHYSICS BY EXPLOITING CRITICAL ASPECTS OF QUANTUM THEORY. THIS LINE HAS FIVE SPECIFIC TARGETS: 2.1. QUANTUM PHENOMENA WHICH CANNOT BE SIMULATED WITH QUANTUM THEORY OVER REAL HILBERT SPACES 2.2. INVESTIGATION OF ``TWO-STEP COLLAPSE MODELS'' 2.3. INVESTIGATION OF FUNDAMENTAL SHARPNESS 2.4. TESTING LUDERS VERSUS VON NEUMANN MEASUREMENTS 2.5. TESTING ``CLOSE COUSINS'' OF QUANTUM THEORY
