Inflation Technique in Fermionic Networks

This project explores how different kinds of quantum systems can produce different patterns of correlations in networks; i.e. when several parties perform experiments on shared resources. A famous result known as Bell’s theorem showed that quantum physics allows correlations that cannot be explained using classical models without communication between the parties. Recent research suggests that systems made of a kind of indistinguishable particles, called fermions, may allow even richer types of correlations than those described by standard quantum models. The aim of this project is to develop new theoretical tools to understand and clearly identify these differences. The expected outcome is a deeper understanding of the foundations of quantum physics and new methods for studying quantum networks (standard or fermionic), while strengthening collaboration between Perimeter Institute and Inria Saclay in the field of quantum sciences.
