A weekly seminar on Friday afternoons at 2:30 pm (GMT+3) held via Zoom that are typically an hour and a half in length, including questions. In previous semesters we emphasized the foundations of measurement-based quantum computation (Fall 2022) and classical simulation of quantum circuits (Spring 2023). This semester (Spring 2024) we will explore categorical structures in quantum mechanics and quantum information theory.

The schedule of the seminar series, including the abstracts, titles, and corresponding references are here and at: www.cihanokay.com/seminars

Depending on speaker preference seminar talks will be available on YouTube at: www.youtube.com/channel/UCLrmyGpqxyeVpTcA1b5HcMw

NOTE: Talks may be held more/less frequently depending on availability of speakers and may also change time of day to accommodate speakers in other time zones.
