*Matthew Headrick (Brandeis) will be speaking on "Quantum entanglement,
classical gravity, and convex programming: New connections” at next
Wednesday’s CMSA Colloquium, *
*2/8@4:30pm*
*20 Garden Street room G10.*
*Abstract:* In recent years, developments from the study of black holes and
quantum gravity have revealed a surprising connection between quantum
entanglement and classical general relativity. The theory of convex
programming, applied in the differential-geometry setting, turns out to be
useful for understanding what's behind this correspondence. We will
describe these developments, giving the necessary background in quantum
information theory and convex programming along the way.
