Quantiki

It is our great pleasure to announce that Asia-Pacific Conference & Workshop on Quantum Information Science 2012 (APCWQIS 2012) will be held on December 3-7th, 2012 in Putrajaya. APCWQIS 2012 is the sixth one in their respective series and is organized jointly by Institute for Mathematical Research (INSPEM), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) with Faculties of Science, Engineering and Computer Science & Information Technology of UPM, Universiti Malaya and International Islamic University, Malaysia.

Speaker: Joe Fitzsimons, Centre for Quantum Technologies, Singapore
Date: Tuesday 29th May 2012
Time: 14:00 British Summer Time

Title: Universal blind quantum computation

The workshop "Horizons of Quantum Physics" sits at the crossroads of cutting edge Theoretical Quantum Physics, Experimental Quantum Information Processing and Industrial Research. Its scope is to create a top level environment for discussion and confrontation where a common language between theorists, experimentalists an technologists might start to develop, with the ultimate goal to explore and enable the fascinating knowledge that will shape the world of tomorrow.

We are currently entering a new technological era where quantum mechanics is used not only to predict physical behaviour but increasingly to exploit quantum resources in applications such as Quantum Communication, Cryptography, Computation and Metrology. Due to the probabilistic nature of quantum measurements, statistical inference based on measurement data plays an increasing role in analysing and validating the results of quantum experiments.
