Dear all, the next meeting of the Summer 2014 reading group on Quantum Information Theory will take place on Monday, April 28 from 18:00 - 20:00 (the time is "CT", i.e., actually from 18:15 - 19:45). The location of the meeting will be Ludwigstraße 31, Room 021. In the meeting I will start by briefly reviewing the basics of linear algebra and the quantum mechanical formalism, and then move on to discuss the von Neumann entropy and the basics of quantum information theory. The relevant readings are Chapters 2, 11, and 12 of Nielsen & Chuang (2000). I will not be talking much about the material in chapters 8-10, but reading these may be helpful when we move on to more advanced topics later on in the semester. The dropbox folder for the group is accessible via this link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x2rwmqqspfvmpaz/ikeZfpsGIW I hope to see many of you there.
