Random Matrices and Applicatications in Quantum Information

News

The course will be administered in the CMS system. More info on this coming soon.

Course description

This course will give an introduction to random matrices, with a special emphasis on their applications in the context of quantum information. 

The course is primarily designed for students of the new Masters Study Program on Quantum Information; but anybody else interested in random matrices and/or quantum information theory is also very welcome.

The course will be coordinated with the course ``Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Information Theory'', so that it is possible (and actually recommended) to take both courses in parallel.

Prerequisites: No prior knowledge of physics is required. The course is primarily designed for Bachelor’s and Master’s students in mathematics or computer science. Students from physics and related fields are equally welcome. Participants are expected to be familiar with one- and multidimensional analysis and linear algebra as covered in Mathematics for Computer Scientists 1–3 or in the courses Analysis 1&2 and Linear Algebra 1.
