This book is an outgrowth of the activities of the Center for Geometry and Mathematical Physics (CGMP) at Penn State from 1996 to 1998. The Center was created in the Mathematics Department at Penn State in the fall of 1996 for the purpose of promoting and supporting the activities of researchers and students in and around geometry and physics at the university. The CGMP brings many visitors to Penn State and has ties with other research groups; it organizes weekly seminars as well as annual workshops The book contains 17 contributed articles on current research topics in a variety of fields:...

Among the most exciting developments in science today is the design an d construction of the quantum computer. Mathematics lies at the heart of theoretical quantum computer science-designing fast, efficient quan tum algorithms and analyzing their complexity is the work of the mathe matician. Few published books on quantum computation are currently ava ilable and none satisfactorily cover its mathematical theory. In this book, an interdisciplinary team of top researchers explores some of th e latest mathematical results in quantum computation and information. They provide both introductory...

This volume, dedicated to Bertram Kostant on the occasion of his 65^th birthday, is a collection of 22 invited papers by leading mathematicians working in Lie theory, geometry, algebra, and mathematical physics. Kostant's fundamental work in all these areas has provided deep new insights and connections, and has created new fields of research. The papers gathered here present original research articles as well as expository papers, broadly reflecting the range of Kostant's work.

Among the most exciting developments in science today is the design and construction of the quantum computer. Its realization will be the result of multidisciplinary efforts, but ultimately, it is mathematics that lies at the heart of theoretical quantum computer science. Mathematics of Quantum Computation brings together leading computer scientists, mathematicians, and physicists to provide the first interdisciplinary but mathematically focused exploration of the field's foundations and state of the art. Each section of the book addresses an area of major research, and does so with...
