Title: | Operator systems and quantum graphs |
Abstract: | The plan of this working seminar is to survey some of the existing literature on ``quantum graphs'' and their applications/uses in the mathematics of quantum information theory. Some references: Quantum relations – Nik Weaver, 2010 (arxiv:1005.0354) Quantum graphs as quantum relations – Nik Weaver, 2015 (arxiv:1506.03892) A “quantum” Ramsey theory for operator systems – Nik Weaver, 2016 (arxiv:1601.01259) Zero-error communication via quantum channels, non-commutative graphs, and a quantum Lovasz theta function – Runyao Duan, Simone Severini, Andreas Winter, 2010 (arxiv:1002.2514) No-signalling assisted zero-error capacity of quantum channels and an information-theoretic interpretation of the Lovasz number – Runyao Duan, Andreas Winter, 2015 (arxiv:1409.3426) On zero-error communication via quantum channels in the presence of noiseless feedback – Runyao Duan, Simone Severini, Andreas Winter, 2016 (arxiv:1502.02987) Complexity and capacity bounds for quantum channels – Rupert Levene, Vern Paulsen, and Ivan Todorov, 2017 (arxiv:1710.06456) No quantum Brooks’ theorem – Steven Lu, 2014 – (arxiv:1411.7666) On the noncommutative deformation of the operator graph corresponding to the Klein group – G.G.

Title: | Clebsch-Gordan Quantum Channels |
Abstract: | I will describe some examples and properties of G-covariant quantum channels, where G is some compact (quantum) group. I will highlight how representation theory is a powerful tool to study properties of such channels and I will also highlight some open problems about these channels. Joint work with B. Collins, H.-H. Lee, and S. Youn. |
