The lab explores the mathematical aspects of quantum information.

AboutAbout the lab
Studying quantum information from the mathematical side.
The Mori Lab studies the mathematical aspects of quantum information.
Few labs in Japan study quantum information within a mathematics-oriented graduate school.
The lab works on the complexity of generating graph states and on quantum algorithms for graph problems.
Fourth-year undergraduates start by reading an introductory book on quantum information in a reading group, study on their own over the summer break, and in autumn choose a research topic and move on to their graduation research.
Key terms
- Quantum information
- A field that deals with representing, processing, and communicating information using the properties of quantum mechanics.
- Graph state
- A quantum state in which multiple qubits are entangled with each other, represented by a graph of points and the lines connecting them.
- Quantum query algorithm
- A quantum algorithm whose efficiency is measured by the number of queries made to data.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the mathematical aspects of quantum information. It works on the complexity of generating graph states and on developing quantum query algorithms for graph problems.
*Illustrative imageComplexity of Generating Graph States
Graph states are quantum states used in measurement-based quantum computation and quantum error-correcting codes. The lab defined "complexity" as the minimum number of two-qubit Clifford operations needed to generate a graph state, and derived upper and lower bounds on it using the rank-width of the graph.
*Illustrative imageQuantum Query Algorithms for Graph Problems
For the vertex cover problem and the matching problem on graphs, the lab developed quantum query algorithms by incorporating kernelization, a technique used in classical algorithms. It has also derived tight lower bounds on the number of queries (query complexity).
