从粒子到信息:统计物理与量子信息基础研究的关联与进展

From Particle to Information:Relevance and Progress of the Fundamental Researches on Statistical Physics and Quantum Information

统计物理与量子信息本是物理学的两个独立分支,但随着认识的深化和视角的转变,人们发现二者在基础研究方面关联紧密。文章主要以物理学概念基础从"粒子"到"信息"的演变作为切入点,对统计物理学与量子信息科学中的一些基础问题的研究现状及其相互影响的发展历史与趋势进行简要评述和分析。

Statistical physics and quantum information are two independent branches of physics, but with the deepe- ning of understanding and shift of perspectives, in fundamental research they are found closely related. Based on the evolution of the basic concept of physics from ＂particle＂ to ＂information＂, this paper talks about the fundamen- tal issues of statistical physics and quantum information science and offers a brief review and analysis of their re- search status and interactive trends.
