This $400,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Massachusetts Boston to develop tools for representing quantum information processing using symmetric informationally complete measurements. The goal is to establish an efficient language for quantum information by exploiting connections between quantum mechanics and algebraic number theory. Specifically, the university researchers will remedy the complexity of current SIC representations by creating a toolkit of special transcendental functions. With these tools, the team will reexamine quantum phenomena from a more manageable perspective and build an open-source code base to facilitate broader applied research. This award falls under the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing fundamental scientific knowledge and understanding major problems.
