A new generation of graduate student seminar

We will be reading Hall's Quantum Theory for Mathematicians this Fall 2022. More below on the plan and our "quantum roulette" format.

Text

We will be reading Hall's Quantum Theory for Mathematicians, which you can download by clicking on that link or buy a physical copy from Springer (it is MyCopy-eligible for somewhat less).

Format

Each week we select a random speaker a few hours before start of the meeting. The idea is to incentivize everyone to read the material as closely as in a seminar in which each participant presents only once every n weeks and so has less motivation in "off-weeks."

Logistics

We will meet Fridays during the semester from 9:30 to 11:00 am PT in 939 Evans Hall. The first meeting is on August 26.
