The Department of Mathematics welcomes École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne professor Thomas Vidick to our annual Simons Lecture Series, May 12-14:

Surprises in Quantum Complexity Theory

Lecture 1: Some complexity challenges from quantum information
Lecture 2: Entanglement, interactive proofs, and approximability
Lecture 3: Entanglement, error-correcting codes, and proofs

Each day, a reception will be held at 4pm in Room 2-290, followed by the 4:30pm lecture in Room 2-190.

This annual lecture series features presentations by top mathematicians. Many thanks to the late Jim Simons and his wife, Marilyn Simons, for their continued financial support of these lectures.
