MATH Seminar: “Categorical Treatment of the Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm”, 2:00PM April 19 2024 (EN)

You are cordially invited to the Quantum Computing Seminar organized by the Department of Mathematics.

Speaker: Selman Ipek (Bilkent University)

“Categorical treatment of the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm”

Abstract: The Deutsch-Jozsa problem is a canonical example of a problem that can be solved by a quantum computer exponentially faster than a classical deterministic computer. Here we begin by describing the Deutsch-Jozsa problem and its solution according to standard quantum theory [1, §I.B]. We then describe how the solution works in categorical terms by building off of the notion of complementary structures and Frobenius algebras built up in the previous talks.
