Research Group on Quantum Communication

An interdisciplinary group (EECS & Math) has formed to study research problems in quantum information theory. We focus on problems in quantum communication. Specific goals include: (1) computing invariants associated to quantum channels (such as channel capacity), (2) developing models for secure (private) communication, and (3) studying the use of quantum entanglement as a communication resource. All faculty and graduate students are welcome to attend. At the meeting on July 18th, Ryan Landay will discuss the paper "experimental estimation of the dimension of classical and quantum systems" by M. Hendrych et al. (Nature Physics, 2012.)
