"Eventually Entanglement Breaking Maps"
Detecting separability is one of the important tasks in quantum information theory. Computationally it is an NP hard problem to decide whether a state is separable or not. The spooky phenomena called "entanglement", that is, states that are not separable, can be exploited in many counter intuitive applications related to quantum computing. Fortunately, we have a very nice mathematical description of all the "physics-words" written above.
In this talk, I will review these concepts in a mathematical framework and discuss about an (open) problem that arose directly from a LAB. This is known as a PPT-squared conjecture. I will also mention some recent progress that took place in solving the problem. The talk will be accessible to everyone and no prior knowledge of quantum information or operator algebras will be assumed.

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.
