quantum information

The school aims to provide a broad overview of different implementations of quantum information processing and quantum simulation enabled by recent progress in nanotechnologies. Seven leading experts will review the experimental and theoretical state-of-the-art for some of the most promising implementations such as semiconductor quantum dots, superconducting circuits, defect centers in diamond, photonic crystal structures, and topological insulators and explore the prospects of quantum computing, quantum simulation, and the physics of quantum many-body systems.

Quantumness: A celebration of Luiz Davidovich's research career on his 70th birthday
June 22nd to June 24th, Rio de Janeiro

Quantumness will be a 3-day-long event with a strong scientific program. Distinguished international speakers will attend this celebration of Luiz Davidovich's research career on his 70th birthday.

I am announcing 6th Working Group Meeting of COST Action MP1209 "Thermodynamics in the Quantum Regime". We have an excellent complement of speakers lined up and this meeting promises to be an exciting one.

The first Q+ Hangout of the year is on the 26th of January!

As usual, if you are watching with a group and want to reserve a seat in the hangout then leave a comment on the event page:
