I will give a light introduction to the concept of a quantum expander, which is an analogue of an expander graph that arises in quantum information theory.  Most examples of quantum expanders that appear in the quantum information literature are obtained by random matrix techniques.  I will explain another, more algebraic approach to constructing quantum expanders, which is based on using actions and representations of discrete quantum groups with Kazhdan's property (T).  This is joint work with Eric Culf (U Waterloo) and Matthijs Vernooij (TU Delft).
