This year's Quantum Information Processing (QIP) meeting—a conference dedicated to all things quantum computing—was a little closer to home than the 2024 session in Taipei. Held at the end of February in Raleigh, North Carolina, Columbia was once again well represented by members of Henry Yuen's research group, which focuses on various aspects of quantum computing and cryptography.
Three papers appeared at this year's conference:
- Learning the Closest Product State, by Ainesh Bakshi, John Bostanci, William Kretschmer, Zeph Landau, Jerry Li, Allen Liu, Ryan O'Donnell and Ewin Tang.
- A General Quantum Duality for Representations of Groups with Applications to Quantum Money, Lightning, and Fire, by John Bostanci, Barak Nehoran and Mark Zhandry.
- Simple Constructions of Linear-depth t-designs and Pseudorandom Unitaries, by Tony Metger, Makrand Sinha, Alexander Poremba and Henry Yuen.
Columbia graduate student John Bostanci delivered a plenary talk about the first paper, while incoming postdoctoral fellow Barak Nehoran presented the second.
