Maximal Systems of Equiangular Lines in Finite Unitary Geometry
Greenslopes Graduate Seminar (October 2023)
Abstract: This talk will explore Unitary Geometries and systems of equiangular lines and how they relate to luxury cars (Mercedes-Benz) as well as quantum computing. We will start by talking about the speaker's limited view of "geometry" which allows them to effortlessly generalize geometry to be a special case of frame theory. We will then discuss some well-known results in frame theory for complex frame and real frames and the more recent generalizations in their finite field analogs. These connect back to the original goal of the talk which is exploring systems of equiangular lines. We will then look at some open problems and connections to quantum computing.
