QIS2008: 2008 Gordon Research Conference on Quantum Information Science August 30, 2008

Chairs of QIS2008
Immanuel Bloch and David DiVincenzo

Quantum Information Science is a yearly conference focusing on the rapidly growing field of Quantum Information Processing. The primary focus of the conference will be on physical and theoretical aspects of quantum information processing and communication, as well as on their physical implementation.

The conference will bring together researchers from the diverse fields of physics, computer science, and mathematics with the common interest of increasing our understanding of how to formulate, manipulate, and process information using physical systems that operate on quantum mechanical principles.

The organizers welcome all interested graduate students, postdocs, university faculty, and researchers from industry and government laboratories. As they like to stimulate the interaction between young scientists and more senior people in the field, we specially encourage young participants to join this meeting.

As the number of participants will be limited, they encourage you to apply as soon as possible (at the latest until August 10, 2008) through the conference webpage.

The organizers may be able to provide some financial support for junior researchers through our Chair’s Fund. Please indicate your need for support when you apply.
