Fields Institute and IQC bring together mathematicians and experimental QIP researchers.
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences are pleased to be sponsoring a workshop on Mathematics in Experimental Quantum Information Processing, to be held Aug. 10-14, 2009 at the IQC.
This interdisciplinary workshop will bring together experimental quantum information researchers and pure and applied mathematicians. It provides a rare opportunity for people in both fields to meet, interact and develop future collaborations. More than 35 researchers will be in attendance, representing institutions in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, India, South Korea, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Algeria, France and Poland.
The Mathematics in Experimental Quantum Information Processing workshop is part of the Fields Institute's Thematic Program on Mathematics in Quantum Information. For more information, please visit the workshop web page.
