DIMACS will be sponsoring a three-day tutorial on quantum computing (8/11-13)
directed towards computer scientists, followed by a two-day scientific
workshop (8/14-15) on recent results in quantum computing. Topics to be covered will include
quantum algorithms, quantum error-correcting
codes and fault-tolerant computing, quantum information theory, and
potential physical implementations of quantum computers.The preliminary program for the tutorial is given below.
There may be a small registration fee.
Talks for the
workshop are currently being solicited. People wishing to give a talk
should send a short abstract by email or regular mail to one of the
organizers. As more details of the workshop are known, they will be
made available at https://archive.dimacs.rutgers.edu/archive/Workshops/Quantum/index.html.
Some financial support for graduate students is available --- send email
to Peter Shor for more information. Registration forms and hotel and
travel information are available on the website.
