Communication complexity of XOR functions f(x \oplus y) has recently drawn an increasing amount of attention. In this talk, I will discuss some recent progress on this interesting class of functions, including settling communication complexity of all symmetric XOR functions in one-way and SMP model, proving Log-rank conjecture for low-degree polynomials f, and showing tightness of a quantum lower bound in the two-way model.

We focus on two particular models of closed time like curves.
The first is Deutsch's 1991 mixed-state-fixed-point model which
abolishes the grandfather paradox. The second is due to Bennett and
Schumacher, in which the grandfather paradox on certain initial states
is exploited as a putative physical mechanism for post-selection.

In this three part lecture mini-course Roee Ozeri will review the basic building blocks of quantum information processing with cold-trapped atomic ions.
The main focus will be on methods to implement single-qubit rotations and two-qubit entangling gates, which form a universal set of quantum gates. Different ion-qubit choices and their respective gate implementations will be described.
