IPAM Graduate Summer School on Post-quantum and Quantum Cryptography

July 25-29, 2022
Los Angeles, USA
http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/gss2022b

Registration deadline: April 15, 2022

The goal of this summer school is to present an in-depth introduction to post-quantum and quantum cryptography for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students, as well as young researchers, in mathematics, computer science, and physics. Lecturers in the school will discuss both topics hand in hand: post-quantum
cryptography, or the art of analyzing security of classical
cryptosystems against attacks, and quantum cryptography, or the art of leveraging quantum effects to develop new cryptographic schemes that are made possible by quantum information.

School on Modern Directions in Discrete Optimization

September 13-17, 2021
Online
https://www.him.uni-bonn.de/programs/future-programs/future-trimester-programs/discrete-optimization/discrete-optimization-school/

Aims and Scope:
The school provides an introduction to some of the main topics of the trimester program on discrete optimization. The lectures will address the interface between tropical geometry and discrete optimization; recent developments in continuous optimization with applications to combinatorial problems; topics in approximation algorithms; and fixed parameter tractability. The lectures will be mainly directed towards PhD students and junior researchers.

Lecturers:

Michał Pilipczuk (Warsaw University): Introduction to parameterized algorithms and applications in discrete optimization

Aaron Sidford (Stanford University): Introduction to interior point methods for discrete optimization

Ngoc Mai Tran (UT Austin): Tropical solutions to hard problems in auction theory and neural networks, semigroups and extreme value statistics

Rico Zenklusen (ETH Zürich): Approximation algorithms for hard augmentation problems
