Quantiki

The quantum walk is regarded as the quantum counterpart of the classical random walk. The quantum walk forms two parts: the discrete and the continuous. The walk is intensely investigated in the literature due to its connection with quantum computing, for example in the design of algorithms. The time evolution of the quantum walk can either be continuous or discrete. The connection between the discrete and continuous time quantum walk has been established. Experiments are being designed and in some cases already performed to implement the quantum walk.

The third International Iran Conference on Quantum Information (IICQI-12) will be held in Tehran, Iran, 8-12 September 2012. The conference will cover latest developments in theoretical and experimental quantum information science, feature talks by leading international researchers, and provide the opportunity for research discussions and collaborations between international and Iranian quantum information researchers. The conference is open to all participants regardless of nationality, gender, etc. but subject to the laws of Iran.

Time: 2pm 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.
