Overview
Recent developments suggest the existence of links between quantum groups
and quantum information theory. Both fields have common problems and areas
of interest, such as random matrix theory. They also share important technical
tools, despite developing independently. However, there has never been a
joint meeting involving these two communities. This workshop aims to fill
this gap, and to bring together researchers from these areas so that they
can learn from each other's techniques, approaches and open problems. The
topics discussed during the workshop will range from the Weingarten calculus
and planar combinatorial calculations to quantum de Finetti theorems and
free probability.
Herstmonceux Castle was made available through Queen’s University
as a Principal Fields Sponsor. This conference marks the first Fields Conference
sited in Europe.
