Dear group, Tomorrow Peter Love is up. Please find the title and abstract below. ``An introduction to Lie algebras in quantum information (and a little quantum chemistry)’’ In this talk I will introduce Lie algebras, give some simple examples and describe how Lie theory can be useful in two areas in quantum information: producing short circuits that realize a given unitary matrix, and in understanding the IQP model of quantum computing in which all operations commute. I will also point out some connections of Lie theory to quantum chemistry, in particular to the algebra of excitation operators.
