will speak on

State conversion using von Neumann algebras

Time: 4:00PM
Date: Tue 9th October 2018
Location: Seminar Room SCN 1.25 [map]

Abstract: Nielsen's theorem gives a simple characterisation of the pairs of pure finite-dimensional quantum states for which one may be converted to the other using 'local operations and classical communication'. We will give a mathematical introduction to this important result from quantum information theory, along with a new generalisation to an infinite-dimensional von Neumann algebraic context.

This is based on joint work with Jason Crann, David Kribs and Ivan Todorov.

(This talk is part of the Analysis series.)
