Quantum metrology gives bounds on achievable precision in measurements of parameters like phase delays, frequencies etc. However it is not known if those bounds are saturable and what is the optimal state, i.e. what quantum resources like entanglement should be used to get it. It is known that asymptotically optimal states should be tensor products of some states with lower particle number, thus they would not be highly entangled.

The program of the 6th winterschool on quantum communications deals with quantum cryptography, quantum computing and quantum repeaters. The goal of this event is to introduce this exciting topic in a relaxed and stimulating atmosphere to a general audience of physicists and computer scientists with little or no background in practical quantum communications. Special emphasis will be placed on practical aspects of quantum communications, such as the implementation of quantum key distribution systems and quantum repeaters, as well as concrete steps towards a quantum computer.
