International Summer School on Quantum Information

Scientific Coordinators:
Rainer Blatt (Universität Innsbruck, Austria)
Andreas Buchleitner (MPIPKS Dresden, Germany)
Richard Gill (University Utrecht, The Netherlands)

Organisation:
Katrin Lantsch (MPIPKS Dresden, Germany)

The School will offer four weeks of intense training in the foundations, ramifications, and current frontiers of quantum information science. It will cover the entire range of this newly emerged and truely interdisciplinary field, from mathematics over theoretical and experimental physics to computer science. A series of lectures and seminars will lead motivated graduate students and promising young PostDocs from basic concepts to challenging problems of cutting edge research, along a steep learning curve. Thus participants of the school will be well prepared to actively participate in a one week international conference, which will conclude the event in an informal atmosphere, during the fifth week.

Application forms can be filled in online on the school's webpage. The deadline for applications is April 30, 2005. Successful applicants will receive a grant by the Max Planck Society covering accommodation and local expenses (except a compulsory registration fee of 100 Euro). In exceptional cases, limited funding is available to partly cover travel expenses.
