Nara Advanced Interdisciplinary Workshop on Quantum Information Science
(NAIST WS)

Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Nara, Japan
January 25-26, 2007

Japanese page is here.

The NAIST workshop will focus on how to get real mutual understanding and collaboration between quantum algorithm and actual physical quantum processes. The workshop consists of invited talks by distinguished researchers in quantum physics and information science. This workshop will be held in conjunction with Workshop on Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication, and Cryptography (TQC2007).

• Invited Speakers
  • Michel Devoret (Yale Univ. USA)
  • Rosario Fazio (Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy)
  • Hai-Woong Lee (KAIST, Korea)
  • Hiroshi Imai (Univ. Tokyo, Japan)
  • Nobuyuki Imoto (Osaka Univ., Japan)
  • Masahiro Kitagawa (Osaka Univ., Japan)
  • Hideo Kosaka (Tohoku Univ., Japan)
  • Seth Lloyd (MIT, Video-conference)
  • Mikio Nakahara (Kinki Univ. Japan)
  • Seiichiro Tani (NTT/JST ERATO-SORST, Japan)

The workshop will have a panel by invited speakers and others in the workshop.
