Teoria dos jogos quânticos

A teoria dos jogos quânticos é uma extensão da teoria dos jogos clássica ao domínio quântico. A diferença entre a teoria dos jogos quânticos e a teoria dos jogos clássica se dá inicialmente em três pontos:

1. Superposição de estados iniciais

2. Emaranhamento quântico dos estados iniciais

3. Superposição das estratégias a serem usadas sobre os estados iniciais.

Esta teoria se baseia na física da informação tanto quanto na criptografia quântica.

Quantum information

Quantum Information is whatever can be transmitted by using systems obeying Quantum Theory as carriers. It is thus not any newly discovered "stuff", but has been implicit in Quantum Theory all along. In fact, some approaches to the foundations of quantum theory (e.g., Ludwig's from the 60ies [Lu83]) are based on the view that Quantum Theory is precisely about the kind of influence transported from a preparing device (the "transmitter") to a measuring device (the "receiver"). What is new in the recent work on quantum information theory is that this view is taken seriously in a quantitative way. The basic questions of this theory are taken from classical information theory: how much "quantum information" is carried by any given system or transmission channel, how much is stored in a storage device, how can such information be coded and decoded efficiently etc.
Classical Information Theory usually abstracts completely from the physical nature of the carriers of information. This is sensible because information can be converted easily and essentially without loss between different carriers such as magnetized patches on a disk, currents in a wire, electromagnetic waves and printed paper. However, this convertibility no longer holds for microscopic particles as described by Quantum Theory.

Gregory S. Kavka, Philosophy

1947-1994

Professor

Gregory Kavka died on February 16, 1994, at the age of 46. After cancer was first detected in January of 1984, Greg underwent intensive radiation and three major operations over the next three years. The cancer recurred after a remission of seven years.

Despite the debilitating and disfiguring nature of his operations and treatments, Greg fought his way back to a full and productive schedule of writing and teaching and to a new and rich period of his personal life. He published one book and thirteen articles between 1987 and the end of his life. He was also well along on another book, provisionally entitled, Governing Angels. In his own view, however, perhaps the most important achievement of this period was the birth of his beloved daughter, Amber, in 1989.
