Speaker: Kyle Kawagoe and Ariel Rosenfield (UMD) - https://mathquantum.umd.edu/rit/
Abstract: In this meeting,
1) We will present potential project ideas
2) Participants will share project ideas if wanted
3) We will start working on team formation

To-do before session:
- Continue reading the Clifford hierarchy paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.07939
- If you have project ideas you'd like to share, come ready with a short pitch (no more than 2-4mins), or send your idea to Daniel, Ari and Kyle ahead of Monday

Speaker: RIT participants (UMD) - https://mathquantum.umd.edu/rit/
Abstract: Research project teams will continue working on their projects. Each team will report on progress formulating their research questions in as mathematically precise a way as possible or, if they already have a good statement, trying to come up with a conjecture and prove it.

Speaker: Participants (UMD) - https://mathquantum.umd.edu/rit/
Abstract: In this session, research project teams will give an informal update on their projects (including their tentative research question(s)/goal(s)). Teams presenting will be:
1. Non-prime Pauli groups
2. Higher-dimension qudit gates
3. Beam-splitters or Fourier analysis of Clifford hierarchy

The remaining time will be a working session for teams.
