Quantum Computing via Octonions

Abstract:

Quantum computing can be effected by a sequence of projective measurements. Such strategies are called, ``measurement only''. The key geometric concept which ensures that system information does not leak to the environment during measurement is ``equiangularity''. I will explain what the Octonions are and how they provide the largest families of equiangular subspaces of a Hilbert space.
