Notes from the Qreading group:

1. The pure-state HSW Theorem.

2. Operator Schmidt decompositions and the Fourier Transform.

3. Optimal measurements.

Talks on Bhatia's "Matrix Analysis" book:

4. Doubly Stochastic Matrices and Majorization.

5. Unitarily-invariant norms and weak majorization.

6. Matrix monotone and operator convex functions.

Notes added to the wiki for the quantum computation class at MIT:
