In this seminar (organized jointly by Prof. Dr. D. Gross, professor for physics, and Prof. Dr. F. Vallentin, professor for applied mathematics) connections between mathematical optimization and quantum information theory will be explored. It is open to master students with a background in mathematical optimization or theoretical physics.
The seminar will be a block seminar and will take place between August 7th and August 9th 2017 at the Physics Center in Bad Honnef.
Expenses will be covered through a Quantum Matter and Materials grant.
