David Gosset is a recipient of the TQC 2019 Outstanding Paper Prize

C&O professor David Gosset and John Smolin (IBM T.J. Watson Research Center) will receive the Outstanding Paper Prize at TQC 2019, the 14th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication and Cryptography.

Their paper, entitled A compressed classical description of quantum states, presents a method for quickly computing a compressed representation of a quantum state using the square root of the usual amount of  classical memory. An important feature of their representation is that it is possible to approximate the expectation value of an arbitrary observable with high probability.

TQC 2019 will be held from June 3-5, 2019 at the University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, USA.
