Quantum Computation and Complex Networks

This workshop will bring together researchers and students coming from diversified scientific areas, whose connections start to emerge. We expect that the variety of expertise and technicalities brought by each community will be beneficial to approach problems of common interest, and it will stimulate new questions of relevance for a large scientific community.

Greg Kuperberg: Connections between quantum computing and quantum algebra

Abstract

Quantum computing and quantum algebra are two celebrated modern kindred areas of research. The pinata-smashing result in quantum computing (but not the first important result) was Shor's algorithm in 1994. The pinata-smashing result in quantum algebra (again, in hindsight not the first important result) was the Jones polynomial in 1984.
