On October 16-18, 2019 the CMSA hosted a workshop on Noncommutative Analysis, Computational Complexity, and Quantum Information.

This workshop focuses on linking three different rapidly developing areas: noncommutative real algebraic geometry (RAG), theory of computation and quantum information theory. This mix of overlapping but independently developing topics should lead to a stimulating flow of tools and important problems into several disciplines.  Given the different communities there will be an emphasis on tutorials and making the lectures broadly understandable.

The workshop was held in room G10 of the CMSA, located at 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA.

Organizers: Boaz Barak, Bill Helton, Pablo Parrilo, & Tselil Schramm.
