#67 The meaning is in the arrows with Adina Goldberg
Description
Welcome to the latest episode of Living Proof, our podcast produced in collaboration with Plus.maths.org
In this podcast we hope to give you some interesting information. This information is encoded in terms of 0s and 1s – the classical bits in your computer or phone. But what if instead we were using a quantum computer? Then we'd be dealing with quantum bits, or qubits, opening up exciting new possibilities. And quantum information theory is the area of mathematics that explores how we can do that.
Adina Goldberg was one of the participants at a recent research programme in this area at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences. In this episode we speak to Adina about her work and how her intriguing motto – "the meaning is in the arrows" – applies to her research, her career path, and the way she looks at life.
You can find out more about quantum information in this short introduction and delve into the details of information theory in this collection of content.
