IC Colloquium: Quantum Algorithms?
By: Vojtěch Havlíček - IBM Research
IC/SB Faculty candidate
Abstract
I will introduce the concept of quantum algorithms and outline several open problems in their study. I will then explain how I address these problems in my research through the lens of representation theory and statistical query complexity.
The talk should be accessible to anyone with understanding of linear algebra, groups, probability theory and (basic) computation complexity.
Bio
