Mathematical methods of quantum information theory, Lecture 5

In 2017 Reinhard Werner gave a series of lectures on the mathematical methods of quantum information theory at the Leibniz Universität Hannover. These lectures were recorded and I have the pleasure of hosting these videos on my youtube channel. Over the coming weeks I'll be posting these lectures here.

The prerequisites for these lectures are a standard course on quantum mechanics and some familiarity with mathematical analysis, e.g., Hilbert space, operators, etc., although these topics are reviewed in the first lectures.

Lecture notes and exercises will not be distributed.

In this fifth lecture, given by David Reeb, extremal points, pure states
extremal observables, POVMs, and effect operators were discussed.

Great lecture! Thanks a lot for posting it
But to me, there is a lot of confusion in the explanations from 1:17:00 to the end of the video
