QMATH masterclass in Copenhagen
by Matthias Christandl 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Dear friends and colleagues, This year we formed a new quantum information theory group here at the University of Copenhagen. Together with the mathematical physicists around Jan Philip Solovej and Bergfinnur Durhuus, we are forming a natural theoretical counterpart (working title QMATH http://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/qit/ ) to the already well-established Center for Quantum Devices (led by Charles Marcus) and Center for Quantum Optics (led by Eugene Polzik). We are kicking off this new effort with a "master class" in quantum information and mathematical physics, aimed at advanced students and researchers from all over the world. Confirmed speakers include: Michael Freedman (Microsoft) Bruno Nachtergaele (UC Davis) Robert Seiringer (IST Austria) Spiros Michalakis (Caltech) The event will take place 26 - 29 May, 2015. Researchers at all levels are invited to apply. You can read more and apply at the master class webpage: http://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/conferences/2015/qmath-masterclass/ The deadline for applications is March 1st. More details (such as the precise schedule of events) will be added soon. We think this will be a lot of fun, and we hope you can come! Best regards from everyone in Copenhagen. Matthias Christandl Professor Department of Mathematical Sciences University of Copenhagen http://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/qit/
