| | Way back in 2005, I posed Ten Semi-Grand Challenges for Quantum Computing Theory, on at least half of which I'd say there's been dramatic progress in the 16 years since (most of the challenges were open-ended, so that it's unclear when to count them as "solved"). I posed more open quantum complexity problems in 2010,...

| | This post is devoted to few convex and compact sets of matrices that I like. The set \( {\mathcal{C}_n} \) of correlation matrices. A real \( {n\times n} \) matrix \( {C} \) is a correlation matrix when \( {C} \) is symmetric, semidefinite positive, with unit diagonal. This means that \[ C_{ii}=1, \quad C_{ji}=C_{ji},\quad \left\geq0 \] for every \(...

| The function $latex f(x) = x \log x$ occurs in various places across math/statistics/machine learning (e.g. in the definition of entropy), and I thought I'd put a list of properties of the function here that I've found useful. Here is a plot of the function: $latex f$ is defined on $latex (0, \infty)$. The only...
