Master’s Thesis Presentation • Quantum Computing • A Generalized Adversary Method for Quantum Query Complexity

Please note: This master’s thesis presentation will be given online.

Rory Soiffer, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Shalev Ben-David

Quantum query complexity measures the minimum number of queries a quantum algorithm needs to make to some input string to compute a function of that input. Query complexity models are widely used throughout quantum computing, from setting limits on quantum algorithms to analyzing post-quantum cryptography.

Seminar • Bioinformatics • Probabilistic Models of k-mer Frequencies

Please note: This seminar will be presented in person in DC 1304 as well as streamed online.

Broňa Brejová, Department of Computer Science
Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia

Many successful tools in bioinformatics are based on working with k-mers, substrings of length k of the input sequences. In this talk, we will discuss two less-known areas where k-mers can be used.
