Towards an abstract description of tensor product
Speaker(s): Daniel Lehman
Abstract: Tensor product is described in a family of categories that includes Set and Hilbert spaces. Such categories admit a "scalar" object which enables a definition of bi-arrows with two domains, generalizing functions of two variables. The tensor product is characterized by the expected... read more

Higher-dimensional quantum mechanics
Speaker(s): Jamie Vicary
Abstract: We sketch some ideas about how higher-dimensional categories could be used to extend conventional quantum mechanics. The physical motivation comes from quantum field theory, for which higher-dimensional category theory is very relevant. We discuss how this new approach would affect familiar aspects ... read more

Convex and Categorial Frameworks for Information Processing and Physics
Speaker(s): Howard Barnum
Abstract: TBA

Discrete Quantum Causal Dynamics
Speaker(s): Prakash Panangaden
Abstract: We give a mathematical framework to describe the evolution of quantum systems subject to finitely many interactions with classical apparatuus and with each other. The systems in question may be composed of distinct, spatially separated subsystems which evolve independently, but may also interact. Th... read more
