Maxwell’s demon is still alive. Even though Landauer and Bennett allegedly exorcised him, we are witnessing his vigorous activity in
the recent literature in thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, quantum information, and information science. Moreover, the progress
in experimental techniques now allows us to see him in the lab. We are now more able than ever to gossip about his whereabouts and activities
in nature. It should be the right timing to provide researchers in relevant communities with an opportunity to share their ideas. The

The Summer School will take place at El Escorial, Spain (http://www.euroforum.es/), a nice and historic city about 50 km to the north of Madrid. See further information below and in the website.

The whole activity will focus primarily on the following topics:

* One-Way Quantum Computation and Statistical Mechanics
* Topological Codes and Statistical Models
* Random Statistical Mechanical Systems and Lattice Gauge Theories
* Quantum Information and Models of Discrete Quantum Gravity
