Journal Club Winter 2013
This quarter we will be focusing on Quantum Information Theory not Quantum Expanders, but the editing is yet to be completed so until then, confusion shall reign.
Place: Fridays at 1:30pm in CSE 674 ("the Irish room").

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."

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
