Deepening: information meets foundations

est 28h · logged 0h · started — · touched —

Optional deepening on the cross-pollination of quantum foundations with quantum information — the most productive recent development in the field. This unit is also Unit 4 of the Information page and Unit 5 of the Math page: do it once, it counts three times.
