"Quantum Extensions of Ordinary Maps"
Noncommutative mathematics views unital C*-algebras to be a quantum generalization of compact Hausdorff spaces. In this context, unital C*-algebras may be termed quantum compact Hausdorff spaces. Recent research in quantum information theory has stimulated interest in families of maps indexed by such a quantum compact Hausdorff space. Some map extension problems that are unsolvable in the classical setting become solvable in the quantum setting. In other words, some maps admit no family of extensions indexed by an ordinary nonempty compact Hausdorff space, but do admit a family of extensions indexed by a quantum nonempty compact Hausdorff space. Does the same phenomenon occur for finite T_0 spaces? An affirmative answer would produce new examples of quantum pseudotelepathy.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
