Joint Graduate Student Colloquium

Thursday, March 30, 2017 4:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Anton Mosunov (Pure Mathematics) and Luis Antonio Ruiz (Combinatorics & Optimization), University of Waterloo

"Tomato Packing and Lettuce-Based Crypto"

Lettuce is good for you. Lattices are good for humanity. We are going to present some nutritious facts about lattices and convince you that they are good for your mathematical diet. Anton will explain the importance of lattices in the tomato/orange/sphere packing problem, and Antonio will show you that many portions of lattices a day may keep you safe from quantum hackers.
