6th Canadian Summer School on Quantum Information Processing
August 7-11, 2006, University of Calgary, Canada
http://www.equips.ca
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Students and researchers are invited to attend the sixth summer
school on quantum information processing held at the University of
Calgary. The goal of the school is to introduce a general audience
of computer scientists, physicists, and mathematicians with little
or no background in quantum information processing to this exciting
and growing field.
Quantum information processing lies at the intersection of computer
science, physics, and mathematics and concerns information
processing that depends on quantum mechanical effects. It aims at
understanding the principles of quantum mechanics and how they can
be used for computations and in communication. It is an
interdisciplinary area that brings together theorists and
experimentalists.
Lectures will be given by excellent communicators and researchers in
the area, including
* Andris Ambainis
* Richard Cleve
* David Feder
* Paul Haljan
* Peter Hoyer
* Ashwin Nayak
* Alain Tapp
* Wolfgang Tittel
* John Watrous
* Gregor Weihs
There are no fees for attending the school. Affordable, comfortable
accommodation at the University of Calgary is available.
