G'day,

I think I overheard people talking about this at a meeting along time ago.

Subject: Summer School on Quantum Computation and Information

Hi,

Attached below is an announcement for a Summer School on Quantum Computation
and Information which is being held at the University of Queensland February
11 through 15, 2002. As I believe it may be of interest to people in ITEE,
could you please pass this message on to the members of ITEE?

Many thanks,

Michael Nielsen

First Announcement for the Quantum Information and Computation Summer School
(QICSS).

Please feel free to disseminate this email to interested colleauges. The
email is a condensed version of the information at:
http://www.physics.uq.edu.au/people/nielsen/qicss/index.html

QICSS is to be held at the University of Queensland Department of Physics
from Monday February 11 through Friday February 15, 2002.

Quantum information and quantum computation is one of the most exciting and
dynamic research areas of modern science. The aim of this summer school is
to introduce undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in computer
science, mathematics and physics to the basic notions of quantum information
and quantum computation. Prior knowledge of computer science and quantum
mechanics will not be assumed, however participants should have mathematical
maturity at least the equal of a fourth year undergraduate in one or more of
these disciplines.

Program:

On each of the first three days there will be three one-hour tutorial
lectures, followed at the end of the day by a one-hour tutorial session in
which participants will split up into small groups to discuss some example
problems with expert tutors. On each of the final two days the morning
session will consist of two one-hour tutorials, followed in the afternoon by
four half-hour research seminars to give participants the flavour of recent
research.

The tutorial lectures will be given by four lecturers:

* Assoc/Prof Michael Nielsen (Qld):

Introductory lectures on quantum mechanics, computer science,

quantum information and computation

* Dr Andrew White (Qld):

The physical implementation of quantum computation

* Mr Ben Travaglione (Qld):

Quantum algorithms

* Dr David Bacon (Caltech):

Quantum error-correction

An outline of the tutorial topics is as follows:

* Introduction to quantum mechanics

* Introduction to computer science

* Basic elements of quantum computation

* Quantum algorithms, including Shor's and Grover's algorithm

* Physical implementation of quantum computation

* Quantum error-correction, noise, and fault-tolerance

* Entanglement

* Quantum entropy

For further information about QICSS and to register, please view the web
page at:

http://www.physics.uq.edu.au/people/nielsen/qicss/index.html

The registration deadline is December 15, 2001.
