Aim:
What are probability and stochastic processes in Quantum Mechanics? To study the foundations of stochastic processes in Quantum Mechanics, the discrete time quantum walk (DTQW), which is the quantum analogue of the classical random walk, may be useful. This has recently been a hot research field, especially in quantum information science, and has been experimentally realized. This workshop will bring the theoretical researchers in the DTQW. While this workshop is focused on the theoretical side, we also welcome experimentalists. The organizers strongly encourage young researchers to actively join us to this workshop.

Workshop Scopes:
1. Proposals on Physical Realizations of the DTQW
2. Asymptotic Behavior of DTQW
3. Decoherence in the DTQW
4. Applications to Quantum Information Science

Invited Speakers:
Frederick W. Strauch (Williams College, USA)
Takuya Kitagawa (Harvard University, USA)

Important Date:
Deadline of the abstract submission for the oral presentation: September 1st.
