The Summer School is sponsored by Imperial College London's Centre for Doctoral Training on Controlled Quantum Dynamics with funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and its organizing committee consists primarily of students from its second and third cohorts, as well as Daniel Burgarth as a local organizer.
We aim to bring together the leading scientists in the fields of quantum information and its experimental realizations with promising graduate and advanced undergraduate students starting their careers in this field to further their understanding of it as to well as enable crucial connections and scientific networks to develop. Funding will be available for students from universities in the United Kingdom, and we may be able to fund some overseas students (details to be announced shortly).
