Title: "Combinatorics, Quantum computation, and Cellular phones," A Rob Calderbank Lecture

Date: April 16, 2004

Time: 3:00 pm

Location: GCATT Room 325

Abstract: This talk explores the connection between quantum error correction and wireless systems that employ multiple antennas at the base station and the mobile terminal. The two topics have a common mathematical foundation, involving orthogonal geometry - the combinatorics of binary quadratic forms. We explain these connections, and describe how the wireless industry is making use of a mathematical framework developed by Radon and Hurwitz about a hundred years ago.
