Quantum information is the science of using quantum mechanics in a variety of ways to explore new ways of computing and handling information. At the end of the day, us, the scientists, have to find ways to implement non-classical gates and memory into the real world. Materials, allowing for quantum superpositions, single emitters in the solid state and other new-born materials in the nano-world have to pave our way to build the quantum computer. These quantum materials need to be investigated and project the physicist on the track to quantum computing suddenly to a material scientist.
The purpose of our workshop is to present and discuss recent developments in the overlap area between quantum information and foundations of quantum mechanics. The workshop is centered around, but not limited to, the following topics:
* Quantum logic beyond Birkhoff and von Neumann
* Contextuality and non-locality of quantum mechanics
* Measurement-based quantum computation
* Quantum mechanics and category theory
* QM foundations and cryptography
Contributed talks and posters are invited. Registration and submission will open in February 2013.
Decoherence is a bridge between quantum and classical and an Achilles’ heel of quantum computation. For the past 30 years Wojciech Zurek led development of the theory of decoherence and studied its implications for the foundations of quantum physics and its consequences for quantum information science and technology. We will invite his collaborators as well as prominent contributors to the field to celebrate Wojciech’s 60th birthday and his 30 years of decoherence studies.

Applications for invited for a Research Fellowship within the Oxford Martin Programme on Bio-Inspired Quantum Technologies. This Programme, directed by Professors Vlatko Vedral and Dieter Jaksch, aims to develop a new methodology for overcoming the extreme fragility of quantum memory by learning how biological molecules shield fragile quantum states from the environment.

The search for a theory which would unite the insights of general relativity with those of quantum theory, a theory of quantum gravity, has now lasted the better part of a century. Although a number of promising candidate theories have emerged (string theory and loop quantum gravity being the most prominent), a large array of conceptual, formal and methodological issues are still unresolved.
