Quantiki

The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), in collaboration with Chalmers University, Gothenburg (Sweden), is organising a summer school on "Quantum Integrable Systems and Quantum Information Theory" from 18-24 August 2013. The School is aimed at postgraduate students and young researchers, as well as at higher level undergraduate students with an interest in quantum systems and/or quantum information theory. The school will take place in Lawlors Hotel, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford.

'''Overview'''

This workshop will bring together the diverse communities that will need to co-operate to standardize and deploy the next-generation cryptographic infrastructure, in particular, one that will be secure against emerging quantum computing technologies.

'''Goals'''

This is our "Nobel Prize" lecture. Dietrich is a long time colleague of David Wineland at NIST and will tell us about the latest research from the Ion Storage Group.

To join the hangout or watch the livestream go to http://gplus.to/qplus at the appointed hour. Please note the unusual start time of 5pm BST(UTC+1)

Date: 23rd April 2013 5pm BST(UTC+1)
Speaker: Dietrich Leibfried (NIST)
Title: Towards scalable quantum information processing and quantum simulation with trapped ions

'''AIM AND SCOPE'''

* Introduction
Speakers will cover the wide range of subjects to which Samson made pioneering contributions, stretching from the semantics of programming languages, including domain theory and game semantics, via logic were he introduced important notions such as full completeness, to quantum computing and quantum foundations, where he is a father of categorical quantum mechanics.

The counterintuitive features of quantum physics have already revolutionized our understanding of how the world behaves on the microscopic level. But are there any non-trivial consequences of quantum effects that have a functional relevance for biology?

The 2013 edition of the Summer School on Quantum Information, Computing and Control - QuICC - will take place at Imperial College London, run by students in the Centre for Doctoral Training in Controlled Quantum Dynamics. We aim to bring together some of the foremost researchers from a number of related fields to provide a unique educational experience for ourselves and students from other institutions, and to create an atmosphere conducive to new collaborations.
