The 2016 International Summer School on Quantum Information Computing & Control (QuICC) will be held between the 29th August and 2nd September at Lancaster University. This event is organised by students from the doctoral training centres at Imperial College London. It aims to bring together experimental and theoretical physicists studying quantum phenomena in a variety of systems.

Over the course of five days, the invited speakers will give three lectures each on their chosen topics. We also aim to foster a social atmosphere that will encourage the exchange of ideas between all attending participants through various social events. Students are also invited to present their research in a poster competition.

This event is funded by the EPSRC and is free for all UK participants (excluding travel). International students are welcome to apply but will have to cover their own expenses. All participants will be provided with accommodation and catered food for the duration of the summer school. Participants will be able to explore and appreciate the beautiful English countryside of the Lake District.

The fifth annual Summer School on Quantum Information, Computing and Control will be a great opportunity for everyone, speakers and students, to gain insight into the work being carried out at the frontiers of quantum information, technology and control, and connect with other enthusiastic quantum physicists. This year the summer school is being co-hosted with the IOP QuAMP (Quantum, Atomic, Molecular and Plasma) Summer School.

We encourage applications from young researchers (final year undergraduate, Masters or first year PhD) from any quantum-related field.
