QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

The 15 Annual SQuInT Workshop will be hosted by the Center for Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC).

As its last last deliverable, QUIE2T WP2 has submitted the final updates of the QIPC Strategic Report (v. 1.8) and the Quantum Information Classification scheme QICS (v. 1.3). A detailed report on the update is available from the WP2 deliverables page (deliverable D2.2.2).

The main research focus of our group are foundations of quantum physics and its implications for the quantum information processsing. Our goal is to gain insight into these topics by exploiting operational approaches.

The overarching goal of our project is to use strong quantum correlations in order to develop systems, involving large-scale entanglement, that outperform classical systems in a series of relevant applications.

The best way to move toward this goal and to make it reachable on the medium term is to use or to design systems based on direct and deterministic interactions between individual quantum entities.

Our project objectives are to

Sustainability of the QIPC field; position documents for National and EC level policy makers

Following on from the success of the previous two events, the aim of this colloquium is to showcase recent research in quantum algorithms.

Quantum Information Processing (QIP) is a rapidly developing field of research spanning both physics and computer science. As the name implies, the field extends information processing (including computing and cryptography) to physical regimes where quantum effects become significant.

Quantum computation, quantum communication, and quantum cryptography are subfields of quantum information processing, an interdisciplinary field of information science and quantum mechanics. The TQC conference series focuses on theoretical aspects of these subfields. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers so that they can interact with each other and share problems and recent discoveries. It will consist of invited talks, contributed talks, and a poster session.

We are pleased to inform you that following the successful editions of Benasque 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011, we are organizing another workshop of the similar type in June 2013. This is to invite you to apply using the electronic form that you can find on the website specified below. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible and not later than April 15th, 2013. The number of participants at the Benasque Centre at any given time is limited to about 60.
