Ogawa Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies quantum information and information geometry, building on information theory.
AboutAbout the lab
In search of new encounters between engineering, mathematics, and physics.
Building on information theory, the Ogawa Lab aims to apply, extend, and deepen it in fields such as quantum information, information geometry, communication, cryptography, random numbers, and mathematical physics.
Information theory is an engineering theory that is also fundamentally related to mathematics, physics, probability theory, and statistics.
The lab regards its mission as sharing its research results with the world, and providing a place of education that cultivates the ability to understand and solve engineering problems theoretically and mathematically.
Concretely, research toward bachelor's and master's theses is in many cases carried out mainly through computer simulations and experiments.
Key terms
- Information theory
- An engineering theory that treats information mathematically, including data compression and channel coding. It was founded by Shannon in 1948
- Quantum information theory
- A theory that mathematically investigates the transmission and processing of information, taking into account the properties of quantum mechanics
- Information geometry
- A field of mathematics that studies collections of probability distributions using the ideas of geometry
ResearchResearch themes
With information theory as a common foundation, the lab aims to apply, extend, and deepen it in fields such as quantum information, information geometry, communication, cryptography, random numbers, and mathematical physics. Seeking new encounters between engineering, mathematics, and physics, the lab aims to share highly original theoretical research results with the world.
