Papers

Review and Introduction

May 2010: Quantum Expanders: Motivation and Construction - Ben-Aroya, Schwartz, Ta-Shma
"We define quantum expanders in a natural way and give two constructions of quantum expanders, both based on classical expander constructions."
http://theoryofcomputing.org/articles/v006a003/

June 2003: Randomizing quantum states: Constructions and applications - Hayden, Leung, Shor, Winter
"The construction of a perfectly secure private quantum channel in dimension d is known to require 2 log d shared random key bits between the sender and receiver. We show that if only near-perfect security is required, the size of the key can be reduced by a factor of two."
http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0307104 , http://arxiv.org/abs/0802.4193

Expander Constructions

Jun 2007: Random Unitaries Give Quantum Expanders - M. B. Hastings
"We show that randomly choosing the matrices in a completely positive map from the unitary group gives a quantum expander. "
http://arxiv.org/abs/0706.0556

Sep 2007: Quantum expanders from any classical Cayley graph expander - A. W. Harrow
"We give a simple recipe for translating walks on Cayley graphs of a group G into a quantum operation on any irrep of G. "
http://arxiv.org/abs/0709.1142 0709.1142

Apr 2008: Classical and Quantum Tensor Product Expanders - M. B. Hastings, A. W. Harrow
"We introduce the concept of quantum tensor product expanders. These are expanders that act on several copies of a given system, where the Kraus operators are tensor products of the Kraus operator on a single system."
http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.0011

Nov 2008: Efficient Quantum Tensor Product Expanders and k-designs - A. W. Harrow, R. A. Low
"we give an efficient construction of constant-degree, constant-gap quantum k-tensor product expanders."
http://arxiv.org/abs/0811.2597

Entanglement

Sep 2004: Entanglement in Random Subspaces - Hayden
"The selection of random subspaces plays a role in quantum information theory analogous to the role of random strings in classical information theory."
http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0409157

July 2004: Aspects of generic entanglement - Hayden, Leung, Winter
'"We study entanglement and other correlation properties of random states in high-dimensional bipartite systems."'
http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0407049

Jan 2007: Entropy and Entanglement in Quantum Ground States - M.B. Hastings
'"We prove that there exist gapped one-dimensional local Hamiltonians such that the entropy is exponentially large in the correlation length"'
http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0701055
