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:

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.
