Quantum Error Correction and Generalized Numerical Ranges

The numerical range is a useful tool for studying matrices and  
operators, and there are many generalizations of the concept motivated  
by theory and applications. In this talk, we will focus on the higher  
rank numerical range, which arise from the study of quantum error  
correction. Recent results and open problems on the topic will be  
described. If time permits, we will also discuss the connection of the  
higher rank numerical range to other types of generalized numerical  
ranges.
