We're following Jay Pottharst's notes, available at http://math.bu.edu/people/potthars/writings/log.str.pdf, and the lectures by Arthur Ogus at http://math.berkeley.edu/~ogus/preprints/log_book/logbook.pdf.

Overview The Canadian Summer School on Quantum Information is now in its 13th year and is proud to bring together students from Canada and other countries to learn about quantum information. Past schools have been held in Toronto, Montréal...

If A is the adjacency matrix of a graph X, then the unitary operators defined by U(t) = exp(-itA) define what physicists call a continuous quantum walk. A basic problem is to relate the physical properties of this system to features of the underlying...

In physics, experimental observations are usually described using theoretical models which make specific assumptions on the physical system under consideration. Device-independent quantum information investigates the converse approach. What can be...

Abstract: We discuss some algebraic and combinatorial constructions of quantum codes. We give a variant of Construction X (known mainly from the theory of classical linear codes) that produces many new stabilizer quantum error correcting codes of...

The Canadian Quantum Information Students' Conference (CQISC) is the annual conference in the field of Quantum Information Sciences run by and for students across Canada and around the world. The conference is open to students of various backgrounds...

Modern society demands that people manage, communicate, and interact with digital information at an ever-increasing pace. Even though most people want to be informed, all this information is frequently experienced as stress. It is not the information...

In this talk we will give a non-singular compactification of Hilbert modular surfaces by constructing a particular toric variety for each cusp. Other than the familiar compactification of modular curves this illustrative example is the simplest case...
