QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

14th Asian Conference on Quantum Information Science (AQIS'14)
​http://cs.e.yamagata-u.ac.jp/aqis14/​
​ 21-24 August​ 2014; tutorials 20 August
​​ Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan

We would like to draw your attention, and that of the quantum information
community, to the 14th edition of the Asian Conference on Quantum Information
Science (AQIS'14).

It is the leading conference in the subject in Asia, its highly successful
predecessors having been EQIS'01-05 and AQIS'06-13. The topics covered
include, but are not limited to, quantum computing, quantum information
processing, quantum communication and cryptography and foundations of
quantum mechanics.
This year, the conference returns to Kyoto, where it has been held before
in 2003 and 2007. It will be organized by Kyoto University and will take
place in Kyoto, 20-24 August 2014. Details about the conference are to
be found on the website; please check repeatedly as the information there
will be updated regularly.

as oral and poster presentations, selected by a high-profile international
programme committee. Invited speakers include (to be completed):

*André Chailloux (INRIA, Paris-Rocquencourt)
*Aram Harrow (MIT, Cambridge)
*Holger Hoffman (Hiroshima University)
*Alexander Holevo (Steklov Mathematical Institute, Moscow)
*John Martinis (UCSB)
*Masanao Ozawa (Nagoya University)
*Umesh Vazirani (UC Berkeley) [to be confirmed]

Contributions are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas:

- Quantum computation, algorithms and complexity
- Quantum information theory
- Quantum decoherence fighting concepts, methods and tools
- Quantum cryptography
- Quantum communications experiments and theory
- Quantum technologies (optics-, NMR- and solid-state, etc.)
- Quantum processor and computer design
- Quantum programming languages and semantics

The submission deadline is 8 June 2013, 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE).
All submissions must follow the guidelines specified on the web site:
