SFU Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Clifton Cunningham
Topic
On an application of the Langlands program to quantum information
Speakers
Details
Abstract: It is not a new observation that the problem of finding gates for quantum computation, and the associated problem of quantum circuit synthesis, can be understood using mathematical tools that have developed in the Langlands program. In this talk I'll explain how recent results (by humans, announced this month) open the door to improvements of best known solutions.
Additional Information
Series comments: The Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry (NT-AG) seminar is a research seminar dedicated to topics related to number theory and algebraic geometry hosted by the NT-AG group (Nils Bruin, Imin Chen, Stephen Choi, Katrina Honigs, Nathan Ilten, Marni Mishna).
We normally meet in-person in the indicated room. For online editions, we use Zoom and distribute the link through the mailing list. If you wish to be put on the mailing list, please subscribe to ntag-external using lists.sfu.ca.
