SUMMARY:IQUIST seminar: Qubit symmetries\, combinatorial designs\, and
  a rainbow of four basic colors: Common Patterns \, Wisconsin Quantum 
 Institute\,  A. Ravi P. Rau\, Louisiana State University
DESCRIPTION:A recreational puzzle posed 175 years ago of 15 schoolgirl
 s to walk three abreast to school for seven days of the week so that n
 o girl sees a friend repeated in her row has links to many areas of ma
 thematics: combinatorics\, finite projective geometries\, design and c
 oding theory\, etc. A link can also be made to states and operators of
  two qubits in today's quantum information\, those Lie algebras and gr
 oups also providing a systematic way to get the required arrangements 
 of the girls. These patterns can be further linked to four-color visio
 n and analogs in acoustics. They may be useful for<br>
\n<br>
\nmanipu
 lating states and operators of a pair of qubits\, with generalization 
 also to multiple qubits. The Bloch Sphere is a well-known and very use
 ful geometrical picture of a single qubit. Similar geometries and pict
 ures will be discussed for two or more qubits. This will be an easily 
 accessible pedagogical presentation\, also to students\, undergraduate
  and graduate.
