The Cubical Route to Understanding Groups
Speaker: Daniel Wise (McGill University) Title: The Cubical Route to Understanding Groups Abstract: Cube complexes have come to play an increasingly central role within geometric group theory, as their connection to right-angled Artin groups provides a powerful […]
Quantum Money from Lattices
Speaker: Peter Shor (MIT) Title: Quantum Money from Lattices Abstract: Quantum money is a cryptographic protocol for quantum computers. A quantum money protocol consists of a quantum state which can be created (by the mint) and verified (by anybody with a quantum computer who knows what the "serial […]
