Quantum Information meets Statistical Mechanics
September 22-25, 2012, Innsbruck, Austria
Quantum Information meets Statistical Mechanics (QISM) is a new conference series that focuses on the interplay of quantum information and statistical mechanics. The goal of the conference is to bring together scholars from quantum information theory and statistical mechanics to explore emerging connections between these fields and hopefully develop some fruitful collaborations. The first meeting of this series was held at El Escorial, Spain, in 2011.
In this second conference, a broad selection of topics will be covered ranging from "Quantum simulation and lattice gauge theories", "Quantum information and the foundations of statistical mechanics", "Statistical physics of complex systems", and "Thermodynamics and gravity". The program will include a number of introductory and overview talks, with the aim of bridging the gap between the two fields.
