Dates: 25th - 27th July 2013

Place: University of Leicester, Main Campus - Leicester, Leicestershire, UK.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The 2013 Quantum Interaction conference at the University of Leicester follows from a list of highly successful meetings held at Stanford University; Oxford University; the German Research Centre fo

The topics of the seminar are quantum contextuality and non-locality, generalized physical theories, device independent protocols, uncertainty relations, and completeness of quantum mechanics. The conference venue and accommodation will be at the Physikzentrum in Bad Honnef, Germany. Arrival will be on Sunday, 16th of February 2014 and departure will be on Wednesday, 19th, after lunch.

We are pleased to advise that the Quantum Optics VIII conference will take place from 26 May 2013 to 1 June 2013 in Poland in Warsaw area. The conference website is live at http://phoqus.fuw.edu.pl/quantumopticsviii/. Posters can be submitted till 8th April 2013 and registration is available till 10th April 2013.

We are pleased to invite postgraduate researchers, from inside and outside the UK, to exchange ideas on the mathematical aspects of relativistic quantum physics. A special focus will be given to relativistic quantum information, a relatively young field which combines techniques from quantum field theory, quantum gravity, quantum information and quantum optics.

Our invited speakers reflect the diversity of areas covered:

Prof. Bob Coecke (Oxford)
Dr. Ivette Fuentes (Nottingham)
Dr. Etera Livine (Lyon)
Prof. Tim Ralph (Brisbane)

QIPC 2013 will cover:

Quantum information and quantum communication.

Physical realizations of quantum systems for information technology such as photons, single atoms, ions, molecules, nuclear and electron spins, superconducting circuits, micro- and nano-mechanics, hybrid quantum systems, degenerate quantum gases.

Topical subjects such as foundations of quantum information, quantum measurements, quantum interferometry, cavity QED, optical lattices, quantum memories, many-body systems.

Time: 2pm GMT/UTC
Speaker: Roger Colbeck
Title: No extension of quantum theory can have improved predictive power
Abstract:

The 8th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication and Cryptography, will be held at the University of Guelph, from 21st - 23rd May 2013.
