Overview
Future developments in the field of Quantum Computing and Quantum
control are eagerly anticipated and include the discovery of new
algorithms which could efficiently employ quantum computers, especially
the relatively small size devices available today and in the near
future; the development of improved threshold theorems to determine
the requirements for scalable quantum computing; security proofs
for a number of the alternate proposals for secure quantum communications;
further elucidation of the various measures of entanglement, their
relationship, and how they can be efficiently extracted from experimental
data; and overall, the continued work on a number of parallel candidate
systems for quantum computation, and development of the necessary
logic gates and error-correction techniques to bring this theory
to practice.
Developments continue to rely upon system coherence and decoherence.
As such focus will also be directed towards recent developments
in coherence and control in larger molecular systems such a nanostructures
and biomolecules.
Outline of the program
The conference will involve a mix of invited and contributed talks,
and posters, interspersed with coffee and discussion breaks. There
will be invited talks, delivered by acknowledged world leaders of
the field and 20-minute contributed talks.

Contributed talks and Poster Session
The organizing committee looks forward to receiving abstracts for
contributed talks.
There will also be at least one poster session, during which we
expect to give an opportunity to more young researchers to present
work that did not fit into the main schedule, as well as several
sessions devoted to focused discussion on a number of topics raised
during the meeting. The meeting will involve researchers at all
stages of their careers, including participation by graduate students.
The poster boards are 6 feet wide by 3 feet high, and they mount
on poles that are 6 feet tall. Posters should be no more than 3
feet wide but can be as high as presenters wish. 33x44 portrait
orientation is preferred.
This year the conference will feature the award of the second biannual
J.
S. Bell Prize for Research in Fundamental Issues in Quantum Mechanics
and their Applications. The 2011 Bell Prize is awarded to Sandu
Popescu of the University of Bristol.
