Random tensors are expected to play a growing role in many areas of mathematics, physics, and computer science, but communities working with tensors have developed different approaches to their study, with different tools and results. This is the second event in a series of encounters (first one here) aimed at exploring the connections between these approaches at the technical and conceptual level, with an emphasis on mathematics and statistics, quantum information, condensed matter physics, and quantum gravity and discrete geometry.

Institut Henri Poincaré (IHP), Paris, France

September 30 - October 18, 2024 

>> The school will revolve around five mini lectures:  

Gerard Ben-Arous // Courant Institute, NYU // USA

> Random Tensors: from Spin Glasses to Data Science

Matthias Christandl // U of Copenhagen // Denmark:

> The Tensor as an Informational Resource

Sabine Harribey // Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies // Ireland:

> An introduction to tensor models: from random geometry to melonic CFTs

Ion Nechita // CNRS - U of Toulouse // France

> Tensor freeness and applications to quantum information theory

David Perez-Garcia // U Complutense de Madrid // Spain:

> Tensor Networks: a mathematical tool to understand exotic quantum phases of matter

>> There will be three doctoral courses during this week:  

Guillaume Aubrun // U de Lyon 1 // France

> Entanglement between cones

Frédéric Holweck // U de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard // France:

> The geometry of entanglement: from projective duality to quantum computers

Mohamed El Amine Seddik // Technology Innovation Institute // Abu Dhabi:

> Spike Recovery from Large Asymmetric Random Tensors

>> On Friday October 11, there will be a thematic day organized jointly with the GDR Matrices et Graphes Aléatoires (MEGA).
