Desde el Grupo de Termodinámica y Computación Cuántica de la Universidad de Granada invitamos a la comunidad universitaria a participar de una nueva serie de seminarios. La primera sesión será el jueves 16. Speaker: Prof. Michalis Skotiniotis. QTCG-UGR Title: A short introduction to Quantum Channels: Characterization and Methods (I) Abstract: This series of lectures tackles the dynamics of open quantum systems from the point of view of Quantum Channels. These are Completely Positive, Trace Preserving (CPTP) maps acting on the space of linear operators. The first lecture concerns the derivation of the Gorini, Kossakowski, Sudarshan, Lindblad (GKSL) Master Equation from an entirely mathematical point of view using functional analysis. The second lecture concerns the characterization of CPTP maps and particularly their mathematical characterization in terms of the Matrix representation, Kraus representation, Stinespring Representation and Choi-Jamiolkowski representation. The third and final lecture will tackle the question of how to obtain the Kraus representation of a CPTP map given a master equation of GKSL form and present some examples. Date and Time: Thursday 16th of October 2025. 12pm. Place: Laboratorio de Física Computacional. Sección de Física de la Facultad de Ciencias, planta baja (junto al péndulo). Todos nuestros seminarios son posteriormente subidos a nuestro canal de YouTube. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.youtube.com/@qtcg_ugr__;!!D9dNQwwGXt...
