Algorithmic Aspects of Optimal Channel Coding in Quantum Information Theory - Lecture 5

Explore a 59-minute lecture on algorithmic aspects of optimal channel coding, delivered by Omar Fawzi from École Normale Supérieure de Lyon as part of the IAS/PCMI quantum information theory minicourse. Delve into Shannon's foundational principles of information theory from 1948, examining mathematical frameworks for information storage and transmission, with particular focus on the noisy channel coding theorem. Learn about the quantum analogues of classical information transmission problems, including state discrimination, quantum channels, and quantum entropy measures. Access accompanying lecture notes and problem sets to reinforce understanding of these advanced concepts in quantum information theory. Part of the 2023 Graduate Summer School program on Quantum Computation, this lecture contributes to a comprehensive exploration of near-term quantum computing, featuring expert-led minicourses on quantum learning, error-correcting codes, and computational complexity.
