In this talk, I discuss how recent results in quantum information theory translate into quantum engineering solutions, contributing to answer these important questions. I introduce an information measure that evaluates the difference between two configurations of arbitrarily large quantum systems, e.g., the actual preparation of a quantum device and the expected, ideal wave function. The result is instrumental in determining the maximum conversion rate of physical resources (energy and time) into quantum computational power. In particular, a simple but universally valid inequality, formally similar to the Heisenberg uncertainty relations, establishes a lower bound to the experimental cost of creating a target quantum state. These findings advance our understanding of the structure and dynamics of complex quantum systems, such as quantum computers and quantum networks made of thousands of interacting atoms, inspiring design principles for quantum information processing in realistic scenarios.

From new quantum laws to design of quantum technologies

Abstract: Many-body quantum systems are the most powerful computers allowed by Nature.

How can we control them? How fast are they? How much energy do they need?

In this talk, I discuss how recent results in quantum information theory translate into quantum engineering solutions, contributing to answer these important questions. I introduce an information measure that evaluates the difference between two configurations of arbitrarily large quantum systems, e.g., the actual preparation of a quantum device and the expected, ideal wave function. The result is instrumental in determining the maximum conversion rate of physical resources (energy and time) into quantum computational power. In particular, a simple but universally valid inequality, formally similar to the Heisenberg uncertainty relations, establishes a lower bound to the experimental cost of creating a target quantum state.

These findings advance our understanding of the structure and dynamics of complex quantum systems, such as quantum computers and quantum networks made of thousands of interacting atoms, inspiring design principles for quantum information processing in realistic scenarios.
