The quantum world is always portrayed as something weird, spooky, and utterly impossible to comprehend. How can we ever hope to talk or reason about such a complicated thing? In this summer school you’ll learn how to do just that via a newly developed pictorial representation of quantum processes. This new representation is friendly and intuitive to work with, but at the same time is provably equivalent to the old way of doing things. Using these ideas we’ll explore the breadth of quantum theory, from foundational phenomena and quantum resources to quantum computing and cryptography.

Quantum mechanics offers dramatically novel ways to process information. It is known that a fully functioning quantum computer would break some encrypting algorithms, such as RSA, which is used nowadays. However, quantum mechanics offers an alternative to standard cryptography, which cannot be broken by a quantum computer – the quantum key distribution. For this reason, designing and realizing quantum key distribution protocols in practice is a highly important task and involves a huge effort of theoreticians and engineers nowadays.

The study of quantum coherent dynamics is currently one of the most active and exciting areas in physics. It holds the promise for the development of new technologies (quantum computing, quantum metrology,...) and, at the same time, has already delivered insights into the foundations of quantum mechanics. Its fast moving pace, in both theory and experiment, has attracted many young researchers and summer schools have become an integral part of the education and networking of students.

QIM-Quantum Information in Malta is a workshop devoted to open problems in quantum computation, quantum thermodynamics and quantum entanglement. The interdisciplinary, cutting-edge research aspects of quantum computing will be addressed by world-leading experts delivering keynote lectures on the topics from a broader perspective and research talks on specific open problems to be addressed during the workshop. The schedule of QIM will be organised in such a way to have significant time for open discussions.
