| Description | Quantum theory (QT) is empirically a very successful theory; there is however an apparent lack of understanding of the theory. This is mostly due to the fact that, unlike the space-time structure, the cut between the ontology and epistemology in QT is difficult to resolve. The two fundamental concepts–the non-local correlations (entanglement) between space-like separated systems and the indistinguishability (non-orthogonality) of quantum states–is widely believed to separate QT from classical theories. In this course we take a foundational approach to QT from the outside: i.e., since classical theories are completely devoid of entanglement, it is compared with various foil theories that are also non-local and indistinguishable in the sense of QT, such that their special nature in the theory can be quantified. The two concepts will be explained in this course through variety of topics it has motivated in the field of quantum information and computation, both in non relativistic settings. In the followup course proposed, we will also discuss the relativisitic approach to foundations of quantum theory. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
