QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

The next International Conference on Quantum Information Processing and Communication (QIPC 2015) will take place in the United Kingdom at the University of Leeds from Sunday 13 September to Friday 18 September 2015. Like previous QIPC conferences (e.g. Florence 2013 and Zurich 2011), we aim to bring together researchers from all aspects of Quantum Information Science. Contributions are welcome on any aspect of Quantum Computing, Quantum Communication, Quantum Metrology, and Quantum Algorithms.

As many of you probably know, the EC has launched an online consultation to identify game-changing directions for future research in FET related technological domains. The purpose of this consultation is to initiate thinking about future proactive initiatives to be included in the next FET workprogramme for 2016 and 2017.

Quantum envoy is any activity connecting interested third-party audiences with the quantum information research community. Typical examples of quantum envoy are public lectures and exhibitions presenting general aspects of QIPC research and goals.

As part of their ongoing effort to chart and shape the evolving landscape of future and emerging technologies, FET have launched a public consultation to identify promising and potentially game-changing directions for future technological research. QUTE-EUROPE WP2 has submitted an idea regarding Quantum Technologies.
