Title: Universal blind quantum computation

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.

We are currently entering a new technological era where quantum mechanics is used not only to predict physical behaviour but increasingly to exploit quantum resources in applications such as Quantum Communication, Cryptography, Computation and Metrology. Due to the probabilistic nature of quantum measurements, statistical inference based on measurement data plays an increasing role in analysing and validating the results of quantum experiments.

The 2nd Conference in the Quantum Africa Series will take place from 3 to 7 September 2012.

Invited Plenary Speakers:
F. Jelezko (University of Ulm)
N. Gisin (University of Geneva)
A. Ekert (National University of Singapore and University of Oxford)
M. Padgett (University of Glasgow)
L. Davidovich (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro)
