A biweekly forum on how AI is changing mathematical research, teaching, and the profession, and on what mathematics contributes to AI. Organized by PIMS and the UBC Department of Mathematics, it is informal and experience-based: short presentations...

We determine the optimal sample complexity of low-rank quantum state tomography when each measurement may act jointly on at most $t$ samples. For sufficiently small $\epsilon$, estimating an unknown state on $C^d$ of rank at most $r$ to trace norm...

Speakers Julia Eaton University of Washington, Tacoma Organizer Aleksandr Aravkin University of Washington Organizer, Speaker Shan Liu University of Washington Speaker Gian-Gabriel Garcia University of Washington Speaker Milagros Loreto University of...

A network of interacting qubits, usually subatomic particles, can be modelled by a connected weighted undirected graph G. A quantum walk on G is a deterministic process that describes the propagation of quantum states in the network represented by G...

The recent striking developments in artificial intelligence underscore the idea that we need to (a) understand better what goes on inside neural networks, (b) thereby gain more control over them and (c) develop methods that are less expensive and...

Wave turbulence theory is a rich and expansive field, aiming to provide a framework for understanding how waves interact across different settings. Wave interactions occur over a wide range of scales and media—spanning from gravitational waves in the...

Students of grades 5 to 7 are invited to challenge and develop their thinking and creativity skills at the Math Circle Workshops. This is an enrichment program for students organized by the faculty members of the Department of Mathematics at the...
