Quantum Information Theory Reading Course
as part of the RFG on Quantum Phase Transitions



The reading course follows the book by Mark Wilde "From Classical to Quantum Shannon Theory".

Winter 2012

In the Winter quarter I will present all the chapters unless somebody volunteers to present one.  If you would like to give a presentation, please, come and talk to me to make the arrangements.

Since we have the unregular discussion times this quarter I propose we read the assigned chapters each week due Monday regardless of when the discussion of this chapter would be. By the end of the quarter the discussions will catch up with our reading.

The schedule for the Winter quarter 2012 is the following:
