    Mathematical Picture Language Seminar: Magic from a quantum convolutional approach

    9:30 AM-10:30 AM
    May 9, 2023

    *Rescheduled from April 11*


    Stabilizer states and Clifford unitaries have played important roles in quantum information and computation, such as quantum error correcting code and measurement-based quantum computation. In this work, I will introduce a convolutional framework to study stabilizer states and channels based on qudits. Moreover, we establish a quantum central limit theorem, based on iterating the convolution of a quantum state, and show this converges to a stabilizer state. This talk is based on the joint work with Weichen Gu, and Arthur Jaffe (arXiv:2302.07841, 2302.08423).


    The Math Picture Language seminar will be held at 9:30 a.m. Boston time.

    Harvard–MIT Algebraic Geometry Seminar: On the D-module of an isolated singularity

    3:00 PM-4:00 PM
    May 9, 2023

    Let Z be the germ of a complex hypersurface isolated singularity of equation f. We consider the family of analytic D-modules generated by the powers of 1/f and relate it to the pole order filtration on the de Rham cohomology of the complement of \{f=0\}. This work builds on Vilonen’s characterization of the intersection homology D-module.
