School of Mathematics, Statistics & Applied Mathematics

Welcome to the internet portal for the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics at NUI Galway. The School was formed from the Departments of Mathematics (which included Statistics) and Mathematical Physics on September 1st 2008 as part of the process of Academic Restructuring in the University. We refer you to the links on the left for further information.

Dr Ray Ryan
Head of School

In this week's seminar Colin Wilmott (Masaryk University (Brno)) will speak on
Quantum sign permutation polytopes Convex polytopes are convex hulls of point sets in the n-dimensional space that generalise 2-dimensional convex polygons and 3-dimensional convex polyhedra. In this talk, we concentrate on the class of n-dimensional polytopes called sign permutation polytopes. We characterise sign permutation polytopes before relating their construction to constructions over the space of quantum density matrices. Finally, we consider the decade old problem of quantum W-state identification and show how sign permutation polytopes may be useful in addressing issues of robustness. .
