Classes will meet on Wednesdays at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, starting on January 9, 2008. The first class meeting is from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm in the Bob Room. The second class meeting is from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm in the Alice Room.
From Quantum Mechanics to Quantum Groups The notion of 'quantization' commonly used in textbooks of quantum mechanics has to be specified in order to turn it into a defined mathematical operation. We discuss that on the trails of Weyl's phase space deformation, i.e. we introduce the Weyl-Moyal
An in-depth introduction to quantum error correction, fault-tolerant quantum computing, and related topics. Covers stabilizer codes, CSS codes, higher-dimensional codes, specific code constructions, entanglement purification protocols, and quantum channel capacity. Also bounds on quantum error
This spring 2005 seminar series presents some of the concepts and models that have been developed in recent years to explain the emergence of complexity or to parameterize, measure or describe complex systems. This includes the theory of self-organized criticality, information or algorithmic
