Hi all,
this is a reminder of today's talk by Benoit Collins at 3pm in the
Space Room.
Title: Random matrices, free probability and quantum information
theory
Speaker: Benoit Collins (University of Ottawa)
Abstract:
In quantum information theory, random techniques have proven to be
very useful. For example, many questions related to the problem of
the additivity of entropies of quantum channels rely on fine
properties of concentration of measure.
In this talk, I will show that very different techniques of random
matrix theory can complement quite efficiently more classical random
techniques. I will spend some time on discussing the Weingarten
calculus approach, and the operator norm approach. Both techniques
have been initially used in free probability theory, and I will give
some new applications of these techniques to quantum information
theory.
