Spring 2025 David A. Walsh ‘67 Arts & Sciences Seminar Series
Monday, March 24 at 12pm
Room: Snell 213
Chebyshev polynomials in action
We will start with a soft introduction to the theory of Chebyshev polynomials. Then we will gently move on to questions related to quantum state transfer and show how Chebyshev polynomials helped to answer a question regarding speeding up the transfer time in quantum wires.
