That is\, we would like to design an algorithm that\nproduces a classica l description of an approximation to the state.\nHow many copies of rho d owe need to be able to produce a suitable\napproximation? This talk will  be a gentle introduction to the problem\nand related results.\n\n \n DTSTAMP:20250711T034241Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
