Quantiki

This workshop is dedicated to the memory of our colleague Slava Belavkin, and his pioneering work in the field of quantum information processing and control.

Invited Speakers:
Roman Belavkin (Middlesex University), Robin Hudson (University of Loughborough), Richard Gill (University Leiden), Martin Linsday (Lancaster University),
Adam Majewski (University of Gdansk), Jason Ralph (Liverpool University), Alessio Serafini (University College London)

Organisers: John Gough (University of Aberystwyth), Madalin Guta (University of Nottingham)

The goal of the Workshop on Quantum Simulations 2013 is to gather the leading and interested scientists in theory and experiments on quantum simulations with an open interdisciplinary scope. Quantum simulations consist in the intentional and artificial reproduction of a quantum dynamics, difficult to access and study, onto an unnatural quantum system that is more controllable theoretically and experimentally.

* OVERVIEW

The school “Frontiers of Quantum Physics and Quantum Information” aims at providing a comprehensive overview of new and exciting research lines at the frontiers of quantum physics by known experts in the field. It covers a broad spectrum of concepts and questions, from abstract problems in quantum information theory to quantum optics experiments using ultra-cold gases.

Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, UK

(in association with the Newton Institute programme Mathematical Challenges in Quantum Information, 27 August - 20 December 2013)

This School will feature tutorial style lectures introducing themes of broad interest in the areas of cold atoms and molecules, quantum optics and condensed matter physics, quantum information and quantum interference and precision measurements providing a basis for new members of the community and deepening the knowledge of more experienced ones. Additional shorter seminar style talks will give a flavour of current trends in the field.

Date/time: Mon. 27th May 2013 3pm BST (UTC+1)
