The workshop "Horizons of Quantum Physics" sits at the crossroads of cutting edge Theoretical Quantum Physics, Experimental Quantum Information Processing and Industrial Research. Its scope is to create a top level environment for discussion and confrontation where a common language between theorists, experimentalists an technologists might start to develop, with the ultimate goal to explore and enable the fascinating knowledge that will shape the world of tomorrow.

Our Keynote speakers include masters of modern physics like Jacob Bekenstein, Gerard t'Hooft, Hagen Kleinert, William Unruh and Anton Zeilinger. Together with the rest of our invited lecturers, they will guide the participants through the most fascinating discoveries and implications born from the synergy between top-level theoretical and experimental research in modern physics, as well as industrial research from Hewlett Packard, which is co-organizer and main sponsor of the event.

Our workshop is open to scholars and researchers from all over the world. Participants are invited and encouraged to present their own work and results through posters, as well as discuss their opinions with our speakers during open-discussion panel sessions.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Foundations of Quantum Physics
- Gravity and Quantum Physics
- Quantum Information Theory, Relativistic and Non-Relativistic
- Experimental Quantum Information Processing
- Quantum Optics and Photonics
- Quantum Simulation and Quantum Algorythms
- Information, Entropy and Holography
