SUMMARY:QIT Thinking - Quantum Information Theory Seminar - Bill Martin\, W
 PI
DESCRIPTION:“Some elementary quantum gates and quantum algorithms”\nAbs
 tract: This talk only assumes a background in linear algebra. From the vie
 wpoint of a mathematician interested in quantum algorithms\, the CPU of a 
 quantum computer is a tensor product of n 2-dimensional complex vector spa
 ces (n qubits). An algorithm consists of a sequence of unitary operators a
 nd measurements on the CPU\, with branching only based on the classical ou
 tcomes of previous measurements. I will present some 1- and 2-qubit quantu
 m gates and at least two (rather trivial) algorithms. This basic talk has 
 been given many times at WPI but repeat attendees are always welcome. This
  seminar on Quantum Information Theory will assume these basics for the re
 mainder of the academic year.
