Verification of quantum computing and simulation & indistinguishability of photons (45' + 15')

• Barbara Kraus (TUM)

**Abstract**: Current quantum devises are faulty and one needs to be able to assess the errors which occur during quantum information processing. In the first part of this talk, I will discuss several methods which can be used to test quantum computations and quantum simulations. Then, I will use a quantum information theoretical approach to address the problem of indistinguishability of identical particles. J. Carrasco, M. Langer, A.
