Student Club Activity

You are Invited to Attend EE's Annual State of the Department Meeting:

• Come hear about new developments in the department and how student and faculty groups support our community.
• Ask questions during a Q&A session with the Department Chair.
• Free food & drinks will be served during the HappEE Hour. Please bring proof of age (21+) if you plan on drinking alcohol.
• All attendees may enter a raffle to receive a $20 gift card (must be present to win)

This meeting is open to all members of the EE community.

We hope to see you there!

It is well known that no information can be transmitted faster than light, and it is also known that quantum information cannot be cloned or copied arbitrarily. These two "laws" place restrictions on the transmission of information through spacetime, but are there other limitations? The answer is no: the only such restrictions are (1) no-signalling (faster- than-light communication), and (2) no-cloning of quantum information. In this talk, This talk will first provide a brief introduction to some fundamentals of quantum information theory (including the no-cloning theorem and quantum error correction), and then it will show that any process that transmits information through spacetime without violating (1) or (2) is physically realizable as a so-called spacetime information replication task. In particular, this talk will describe how one can succeed at distributing information in seemingly impossible ways using quantum error correction, and showcase new, continuous variable quantum error correcting codes that can efficiently replicate information in spacetime.

Agenda:
6-6:30pm - Check-in, Refreshments & Networking
6:30-7:30pm - Detailed Abstract
7:30-7:45pm - Q&A

We have a special HappEE Hour / student mixer with the Stanford Biosciences Student Association. The fare and vibe will be familiar, but there will be a bunch of new faces and it will be over on the Dean's Lawn in the Medical School, just a short walk from the EE buildings.

In case of rain, or otherwise inclement weather, the backup location will be the Packard Atrium.
