Quantiki

The past two decades have witnessed the emergence and explosive development of quantum information science and technology (QIST), which requires concerted efforts from a wide variety of different disciplines including quantum physics, mathematics, computer science, information science, chemistry, material science, and engineering.

Time: 14:00 British Summer Time
Speaker: Vlatko Vedral (University of Oxford/National University of Singapore)

Title: Using Temporal Entanglement to Perform Thermodynamical Work

The International Colloquium on Group-Theoretical Methods in Physics (ICGTMP) is a meeting point for scientists working on mathematical and numerical methods based on geometry and symmetry.
ICGTMP is the oldest conference series in the fields of geometry and physics further broaden and diversified due to the successful application of geometric and algebraic methods in life sciences and other areas. The conference has an interdisciplinary character. It aims to bring together experts and young researchers from different fields encouraging cross-disciplinary interactions.

This is a small and informal meeting on Quantum Control and Open Systems in the beautiful and picturesque town of Aberystwyth in Wales. There is no registration fee and everybody is welcome.

The [http://quicc.net Summer School on Quantum Information, Computing and Control, QuICC], will be held in Aberystwyth, Wales, on August 27 - September 1, 2012.

The School, supported by the UK Institute of Physics, EPSRC and Queen's University, is aimed at PhD students and young postdocs with interests in atomic and molecular physics as well as quantum optics and quantum information.
