William Matthews
I am a post-doc at the Institute for Quantum Computing of the University of Waterloo.Research Interests
I am interested in quantum information theory. Recently I have been investigating the extent to which entanglement shared between a sender and receiver can assist in classical channel coding tasks, in particular zero-error coding. Another interest is in better understanding physical operations which can be performed on distributed systems by local operations and classical communication.Selected Publications
