Description and objectives:
In this project we want to develop message passing techniques for simple quantum spin models on graphs.
The idea is to go in two directions: functional integral representations and/or discrete phase space representations.
We are particularly interested in investigating topological phases with such methods.
Prerequisite:
Having followed one or preferably both quantum information and computation classes offered in 3rd year.
