SUMMARY:Grad Colloquium
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:ADINA GOLDBERG\, UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO \n\nCategorical Strings
  for Quantum Things\n\nHeard of quantum graphs or quantum groups? Wonderin
 g if this is the\nsame as the \"physics\" notion of quantum\, as in quantu
 m entanglement or\nquantum channels? When I started my PhD\, I was perplex
 ed. Now\, some\nyears of marinating in the stew of categorical quantum mec
 hanics has\nconvinced me of its descriptive power for tackling all things 
 quantum.\nI will show you the string-diagram interface that goes hand-in-h
 and\nwith dagger (compact/symmetric monoidal) categories\, and give\nexamp
 les. Prerequisites: Familiarity with the vague idea of a\ncategory\, and a
  willingness to wave your hands a little bit.\n\nMC 5501
