Abstract:

Modern theoretical methods coupled with the continuously growing power of computers allow one to model structure and properties of different chemical system with remarkable accuracy and reliability. As my talk will show, judiciously applied, such tools can bring us much new information even about well-known molecules, and predict new properties and reactivity.

Abstract

Subgroups of elliptic curves over binary fields are a popular mathematical platform to implement cryptographic primitives and protocols. Using Shor's algorithm to tackle the discrete logarithm problem in such groups leads to the question of efficiently implementing the underlying group arithmetic on a quantum computer.
