SUMMARY:Spacetime and quantum mechanics\, total positivity and motives
DESCRIPTION:Recent developments have poised this area to make serious advances in 2019\, and we feel that bringing together many of the relevant experts for an intensive semester of discussions and collaboration will trigger some great things to happen. To this end\, the organizers will host a small workshop during Fall 2019\, with between 20-30 participants. They will also invite 10-20 longer-term visitors throughout the semester. Additionally\, there will be a seminar held weekly on Thursdays at 2:30pm in CMSA G10. \nOrganizers: \n\nNima Arkani-Hamed (IAS)\nLauren Williams (Harvard)\nAlexander Postnikov (MIT)\nThomas Lam (Michigan)\n\n. \nWorkshops: \n \n  \nSpacetime and Quantum Mechanics Workshop\, October 28-30\, 2019\n\n\nHere is a partial list of the mathematicians and physicists who have indicated that they will attend part or all of this special program as a visitor: \n\nPaolo Benincasa\, 11/17/2019 – 11/29/2019\nJacob Bourjaily\, 9/1/2019 – 12/15/2019\nFrancis Brown\, 9/15/2019 – 9/20/2019\nSimon Caron-Huot\, 9/30/2019 – 10/04/2019\nLance Dixon\, 9/9/2019 – 9/20/2019\nCharles Doran\, 10/19/2019 – 11/1/2019\nJames Drummond\, 10/14/2019 – 10/18/2019\nNick Early\, 11/18/2019 – 11/22/2019\nLivia Ferro\, 10/27/2019 – 11/9/2019\nSergey Fomin\, 10/6/2019 – 10/16/2019\nSebastian Franco\, 10/9/2019 – 10/19/2019\nHadleigh Frost\, 9/15/2019 – 12/20/2019\nMichael Green\, 10/05/2019 – 10/13/2019\nAlexander Goncharov\, 12/05/2019 – 12/20/2019\nSong He\, 9/29/2019 – 11/10/2019\nXuhua He\, 10/30/2019-11/03/2019\nEnrico Herrmann\, 10/27/2019 – 11/9/2019\nYutin Huang\, 9/30/2019 – 10/12/2019\nSteven Karp\, 10/11/2019 – 11/03/2019\nTomasz Lukowski\, 10/27/2019 – 11/11/2019\nAndrew McLeod\, 10/6/2019 – 10/19/2019 & 11/3/2019 – 11/16/2019\nSebastian Mizera\, 10/28/2019 – 11/1/2019\nErik Panzer\, 9/15/2019 – 9/25/2019\nMatteo Parisi\, 10/26/2019 – 11/10/2019\nJulio Parra-Martinez\, 10/10/2019 – 05/12/2019\n Pierpaolo Mastrolia\, 11/8/2019 – 11/16/2019\nPasha Pylyavskyy\, 9/8/2019 – 9/22/2019 & 10/14/2019 – 11/1/2019\nJunjie Rao\, 10/25/2019 – 11/04/2019\nGiulio Salvatori\, 9/3/2019 – 12/15/2019\nMichael Shapiro\, 10/27/2019 – 11/2/2019\nDavid Speyer\, 10/14/2019 – 10/18/2019\nHugh Thomas\, 10/27/2019 – 11/22/2019\nJaroslav Trnka\, 9/30/2019 – 10/04/2019\, 10/28/2019 – 11/01/2019\, 11/18/2019 – 11/22/2019\nCristian Vergu\, 11/10/2019 – 11/30/2019\nMatthias Volk\, 10/14/2019 – 10/25/2019\nMatthew von Hippel\, 11/11/2019 – 11/22/2019\nPierre Vanhove\, 10/22/2019 – 10/31/2019\nMatthias Wilhelm\, 10/14/2019 – 10/25/2019

SUMMARY:Noncommutative Analysis\, Computational Complexity\, and Quantum Information
DESCRIPTION:On October 16-18\, 2019 the CMSA hosted a workshop on Noncommutative Analysis\, Computational Complexity\, and Quantum Information. \nThis 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. \nThe workshop was held in room G10 of the CMSA\, located at 20 Garden Street\, Cambridge\, MA. \nOrganizers: Boaz Barak\, Bill Helton\, Pablo Parrilo\, & Tselil Schramm. \nSpeakers:\n\nJason Altschuler\, MIT | Video\nBoaz Barak\, Harvard | Video\nAnkit Garg\, Microsoft Research | Slides | Video\nDavid Gosset\, University of Waterloo | Video\nAram Harrow\, MIT | Video\nIgor Klep\, University of Ljubljana\nSalma Kuhlmann\, Universität Konstanz | Video\nScott McCullough\, University of Florida | Slides\nIon Nechita\, Laboratoire de Physique Théorique | Slides | Video\nRafael Oliveira\, University of Toronto | Video\nVern Paulsen\, University of Waterloo | Video\nSuvrit Sra\, MIT | Video\nVictor Vinnikov\, Ben Gurion University | Video\nJurij Volčič\, Texas A&M University | Slides | Video\nAdam Bene Watts\, MIT

SUMMARY:Monogamy of entanglement and convex geometry
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Aram Harrow (MIT)\n\n\nTitle: Monogamy of entanglement and convex geometry\nAbstract: The SoS (sum of squares) hierarchy is a flexible algorithm that can be used to optimize polynomials and to test whether a quantum state is entangled or separable.  (Remarkably\, these two problems are nearly isomorphic.)  These questions lie at the boundary of P\, NP and the unique games conjecture\, but it is in general open how well the SoS algorithm performs.   I will discuss how ideas from quantum information (the “monogamy” property of entanglement) can be used to understand this algorithm.  Then I will describe an alternate algorithm that relies on apparently different tools from convex geometry that achieves similar performance.  This is an example of a series of remarkable parallels between SoS algorithms and simpler algorithms that exhaustively search over carefully chosen sets.  Finally\, I will describe known limitations on SoS algorithms for these problems.\n  \n
