                   Randomness for Quantum Computation

In analogy to classical computation, random operations and inputs play 
a fundamental role quantum computation protocals. In this talk, I
explain why a computer governed by the laws of quantum mechanics is 
better suited than their classical counterparts to solve certain 
problems and simulate various systems. The focus of the talk will be 
the role of random states and operations in quantum information 
processing and I will introduce an algorithm which allows for 
efficient generation of randomness.
