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 August 22nd, Hector Garcia will present the paper "self-testing graph states" by M. McKague. (arXiv:1010.1989)
