Quantum entropy (aka von Neumann entropy) is the quantum generalization of Shannon entropy. Its utility in quantum information theory parallels that of Shannon entropy in traditional information theory, thereby being a foundational concept for the field. Of particular importance are the relations of the quantum entropies of a larger system and its individual parts. Finding all of them would be settling the 'laws of quantum information theory' (Pippenger). So how far have we come?

No prior knowledge in quantum information or even classical information theory is assumed. I will point out some relations to linear algebra, functional analysis, symplectic geometry and representation theory. The closure of the mentioned relations form a cone. The patient listener will be looking forward to a filled version of one

All PhD candidates of the ILLC are invited to attend the PhD assembly held in the Common Room of Science Park 107 on 4 December, 13.00-14.00 o'clock. Here, you can ask all your questions to the management team of the ILLC. Lunch will be provided!

In each edition of the Responsible Digital Transformations (RDT) Keywords Project, we explore the diverse interpretations of a certain concept or keyword across disciplines. In line with the current RDT campaign theme, this third edition will focus on the concept of 'Creativity' in the age of generative AI.

Speakers:
Dr. Monika Kackovic: Associate Professor FEB and coordinator of the MSc BA Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the Creative Industries (EMCI) program.
Dr. Claudio Celis Bueno: Assistant Professor in New Media and Digital Cultures and co-coordinator of the AI and Cultural Production research group.
Christoph Finkensiep: Assistant Professor in Generative AI in the Arts, and cognitive scientist at the Music Cognition Group.
The afternoon is moderated by Dr. Nanne van Noord, Assistant Professor of Visual Culture and Multimedia in the Multimedia Analytics Lab.

The ILLC Colloquium is a festive event that brings together the six research units at the ILLC. Each colloquium consists of two or three talks by representatives from different units, sometimes followed by Wild Idea Talks.

The ILLC colloquium is preceded by the Current Affairs Meeting.

The purpose of the Current Affairs Meeting is to inform you about issues that are currently of importance in the ILLC and/or the Master of Logic programme. We will also use this opportunity to welcome new members of staff and to provide you with an update about upcoming and other plans.

The Dutch Association for Logic (VvL) will hold an in-person joint seminar organized by Eindhoven University. The event is inspired by the departmental logic seminars that are organized at each university, and aims to unify the universities for a collaborative seminar. Besides hosting a main speaker, the seminar will also be the location of the award ceremony of the VvL MSc Thesis Prize winners, who will give a short presentation of their thesis.

Main speaker: Alexandru Baltag (ILLC),
MSc Thesis Prize winners: Aude Corbeel (UvA), Sterre Lutz (UU), Ruben Mud (RUG) and Valentin Müller (UvA).
