From Ehrfenfest hat to quantum computing
by
Jerzy Kocik
Southern Illinois University

Krawtchouk matrices bring a rather intriguing web of connections between the classical random walk, Hadamard-Sylvester operators, and representations of groups su(2) and sl(2). The aspect that connects them to quantum computing will be presented. This is a “quantum conclusion” to the previous talk on Krawtchouk matrices.
