Location: Fields Institute, Room 230

Description

CQIQC-VIII will be the eighth in the series of biennial conferences jointly organized by the Toronto Centre for Quantum Information & Quantum Control and the Fields Institute, which aim to bring together researchers from a broad set of areas ranging from quantum computation and cryptography to quantum control to quantum foundations to novel quantum devices, in a setting which encourages discussion and can help stimulate new collaborations and interactions.

CQIQC-VIII will be a major international workshop, facilitating interactions between the different sub-fields being included. The conference will involve a mix of invited and contributed talks, and posters. There will be roughly 20 40-minute invited talks, delivered by pioneers of the field at all career stages, and roughly 25 20-minute contributed talks, which will be selected from what we expect (based on the previous meetings) to be a large pool of truly excellent work from around the world. There will also be at least one poster session, during which there will be another opportunity for researchers to present ongoing work. The meeting will involve researchers at all stages.
