Quantum Information Theory for Mathematicians

  • Date: 05/24/2006
Lecturer(s):

Peter Love (D-Wave)

Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

In this talk I will give an overview of quantum information theory,
with an emphasis on some of the underlying mathematics. In particular,
quantum algorithms depend on a physical property of quantum
systems,entanglement, which may be characterized in terms of invariants
of unitary groups. I will discuss this in the context of Grovers search
algorithm.
