BIMoS Days

Each BIMoS Day is devoted to introducing a broad scientific audience to a novel methodology with a wide range of applications.

BIMoS Day " The mathematics of quantum information"

by Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert (FU Berlin)

May 23th, 2018 (16:15 - 18:00)

H 3005, TU Berlin Main Building, Straße des 17. Juni 13, 10623 Berlin

Program

16:15 - 17:00 

The mathematics of quantum information  Quantum computers and quantum simulators are computational devices the constituents of which are single atoms, ions, or other physical systems following quantum mechanical laws. The observation that a radically different physical theory compared to classical mechanics is at work might suggest different computational capabilities arising from such an architecture. In fact, such devices could solve some problems that are intractable on conventional supercomputers. Communication devices allow for secure transmission of information. 

17:15 - 17:45 

Anticipating a broad audience, this BIMoS day is attempting to serve two purposes at the same time. On the one hand, this day will provide a basic introduction to the field, in simple and intuitive terms, explaining what the field is about and what it aims at achieving. This part is highlighted with black slides.

On the other hand, this being a BIMoS day, the mathematics of the field will be taken as seriously as possible under the given time constraints, presented on white slides. While this obviously cannot be comprehensive, we will sketch how ideas of compressed sensing and matrix completion, graph theory in quantum routing problems, convex analysis and group theory come into play in this exciting new field of research at the interface of quantum physics, mathematics and computer science.
