[FOM] [Vardi-list] The Mathematics of Quantum Computation - The 4th Advanced School in Computer Science and Engineering

[Moshe Vardi]

Event date: December 15 - December 19, 2019

Organizers:
Dorit Aharonov (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
Zvika Brakerski (Weizmann Institute of Science)
Or Sattath (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev)
Amnon Ta-Shma (Tel Aviv university)

On 15-19 December 2019, we will be organizing a math-oriented quantum 
computation school in the IIAS at the Hebrew university. No prior 
knowledge on quantum will be assumed.  The school will introduce TCS and 
math students and faculty, who are interested in the more mathematical 
side of the area, to the beautiful and fascinating mathematical open 
questions in quantum computation, starting from scratch. We hope to reach 
a point where participants gain initial tools and basic perspective to 
start working in this area.

To achieve this, we will have several mini-courses, each of two or three 
hours, about central topics in the area.  These will include quantum 
algorithms, quantum error correction, quantum supremacy, delegation and 
verification, interactive proofs, cryptography, and Hamiltonian 
complexity. We will emphasize concepts, open questions, and links to 
mathematics. We will have daily TA sessions with hands-on exercises, to 
allow for a serious process of learning.

There will be two rounds of registration. The first deadline is 23rd of 
August. If there is room, there will be another deadline sometime in 
October; please follow this page for further announcements.

Hope to see you this coming December!

Main Speakers:*

Sergey Bravyi, IBM
Matthias Christandl, University of Copenhagen
