- Sep. 20, 2018Graphs and Matroids Seminar
Title: Naji’s characterization of circle graphs
Speaker: Jim Geelen Affiliation: University of Waterloo Room: MC 5417 Abstract: A circle graph is the intersection graph of chords of a circle.
- Sep. 21, 2018Tutte Colloquium - David Gosset
Title: Quantum advantage with shallow circuits
Speaker: David Gosset Affiliation: University of Waterloo Room: MC 5501 Abstract:
A constant-depth quantum circuit is a parallel quantum computation that proceeds for a constant number of time steps. In this work we prove that constant-depth quantum circuits are more powerful than their classical counterparts.
