SUMMARY:An invitation to quantum probability and quantum computing
LOCATION:Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Quantum mechanics is associated with both quantum probability, wh
 ich is an alternate probability theory which is needed to interpret quantum
  mechanics; and quantum computing, which is an alternate computational mode
 l provided by quantum probability and which might lead to actual quantum co
 mputers one day.   Quantum probability and quantum computing are both entir
 ely rigorous mathematical topics.   Although they require some graduate-lev
 el preparation, they are not insuperably difficult as mathematics.  Nonethe
 less, both topics are difficult to understand, even for many working mathem
 aticians, because they are difficult to believe.    In this talk, I will tr
 y to make quantum probability and quantum computing easier to believe.   I 
 will also outline a few of the connections between these areas and some tra
 ditional areas of pure mathematics and computer science.  I will choose fro
 m connections to (among other possible topics) classical probability, codin
 g theory, group theory, quantum algebra, traditional computational complexi
 ty, and cryptography.\n
