Computer Science and Electrical Engineering
Quantum Computing Seminar
The Strange World of Quantum Computing
Samuel Lomonaco, CSEE, UMBC
2:30-3:00 Tuesday, 5 November 2013, ITE 325b
This talk will give an introductory overview of quantum computing in an intuitive and conceptual fashion. No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics will be assumed. This is the first of a series of talks based on the four invited lectures given at Oxford. PowerPoint slides can be found online here.
Samuel J. Lomonaco is a professor at the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering of the University of Maryland Baltimore County. He is internationally known for his many contributions in mathematics and in computer science. His research interests span a wide range of subjects from knot theory, algebraic and differential topology to algebraic coding theory, quantum computation, and symbolic computation. In quantum cryptography, he has shown how quantum information theory can be used to gain a better understanding of eavesdropping with quantum entanglement. In quantum computation, he has shown how Lie groups can be used to solve problems arising in the study of quantum entanglement. In 2000 Professor Lomonoco organized the first American Mathematical Society short course on quantum computation.
