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 October 13th, Vincent Russo will give a presentation about the concept of a "hyperbit." (Reference: "from Qubits to Hyperbits" by M. Pawlowski and A. Winter. arXiv:1106.2409)
