 DMS Colloquium: Frédéric Holweck Time: Apr 19, 2019 (04:00 PM) Location: Parker Hall 250 Details: Speaker: Frédéric Holweck, Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard (France) Title: Projective duality and quantum information  Abstract: Quantum Information is a nascent science which intends to use the properties of quantum physics to produce new computational paradigms. Quantum phenomena, like entanglement, are non-classical resources that need to be classified. Interestingly in the early 2000’s the old idea of projective duality regained new interest in the quantum physics literature as a potential tool for studying entanglement. In this talk, after explaining the motivations from quantum physics, I will recall some classical notions regarding projective duality and introduce more recent results obtained with Luke Oeding about the calculation of hyperdeterminants from the $$E_8$$-discriminant.   Faculty host: Luke Oeding
