We will demonstrate a tool for visually constructing and simulating quantum circuits. The tool is a work in progress, and we are looking for feedback from the community on what features would be useful for their research.

We invite applications to "Women in Physics Canada", a three-day conference which will take place from Tuesday, July 19 to Thursday, July 21, 2011 jointly at Perimeter Institute and the Institute for Quantum Computing, Waterloo, Ontario. This conference, aimed at undergraduates and early graduates, is intended to provide support to young women in physics, and to encourage them to continue in a career in physics.

I will present three problems in quantum statistical inference that all stem from the difference between local and collective measurements on multipartite states.
The first one is that of hiding a secret direction in a multipartite state with the promise that the parties cannot learn the direction if they perform local operations and classical communication, but can accurately retrieve it if they perform collective measurements.
