Quantiki

Fueled by unprecedented experimental control on the meso- and nano-scale, it has become a timely issue to resolve long-standing problems related to the apparent contradiction between quantum theory and thermodynamics. Indeed, in recent years, ground breaking progress has been made in understanding the precise microscopic mechanisms underlying thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.

We are happy to announce the conference on

"Entanglement Detection and Quantification"

Date/time: Tue. 26th Nov. 3pm GMT/UTC
Speaker: Mark Wilde (Louisiana State University)
Title: Strong Converse Theorems in Quantum Information Theory

The application deadline for the Workshop on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Quantum Information Processing, NMR-QIP in Rio, has been postponed to November 20th. The event will be held in the Brazilian Center for Research in Physics, CBPF, in Rio de Janeiro.

Some of the most important researches in the area of NMR-QIP will be discussing aspects of quantum computation, quantum communication, simulation of quantum systems on quantum computers, effects of the environment and characterization of quantum correlations, implementation of QIP in Solid-State devices, and so on.

Beyond I.I.d in information theory will be organised by the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT), National University of Singapore, from 19-21 May 2014 at the University Town, Education Resource Centre, Seminar Room on NUS campus.

The quest to create complex synthetic quantum systems from the bottom up is currently one of the most active and exciting areas of physics. It promises the ability to study new and advanced quantum mechanical effects for fundamental science and applications in quantum engineering. Typical experimental systems in this area are cold atoms and ions, nano-resonators, semiconductor quantum dots or superconducting quantum interference devices, with new and exciting ones added regularly. All of these allow large experimental control and detailed theoretical understanding.
