today's group meeting 4pm E41.1
by Joe Renes 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hi all, today's group meeting is at the usual time and place. I'll say a few things about recent work on polar codes, specifically how we can use quantum arguments to show the existence of nice codes for private classical communication over classical wiretap channels. There aren't any classical arguments to show such codes exist, so here we have a quantum proof of a purely classical result! Best, -joe
