Abstract

Quantum computers are the new emerging and exciting field of computer science based on the laws of quantum mechanics. In my talk I will discuss main ideas behind quantum computing including some interesting mathematical problems.

Biography

Professor Adam Sawicki specializes (among others) in mathematics of quantum information theory. He received his PhD in Physics from the University of Warsaw in 2011 and PhD in Mathematics from the University of Bristol in 2014. In 2013-2015 he was Marie Curie fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. Since 2017 he is a professor in the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS. His main topics of interest include: 1) description of quantum entanglement in many body systems and quantum marginal problem 2) classification of quantum statistics (anyons) on quantum graphs and quantum networks 3) characterisation of isospectral/isoscattering quantum graphs using representation theory of finite groups 4) universality criteria for quantum gates 5) t-designs and ε-nets 6) efficiency of quantum gates and random walks on compact groups 7) membership problem for quantum gate-sets
