Overview
CQIQC-VI will be the sixth 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 cryptography and computation
to quantum control to quantum foundations to device fabrication, in a setting
which encourages discussion and can help stimulate new collaborations and
interactions.
It is anticipated that CQIQC-VI will be a major international
conference, 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 25 40-minute invited talks, delivered
by world leaders of the field 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 an
opportunity for young researchers to present work. The meeting will involve
researchers at all stages of their careers, including participation by graduate
students.

Contributing talks
The early bird paper submission deadline is Monday June the 8th.
Paper submission in PDF format should be made to Ms Anna Ho by email to
aho@chem.utoronto.ca . Submissions
after the Monday June the 8th can be made, however the acceptance will largely
depend on the slots that remain available within the conference schedule.
The submission should include a title, the authors, a 250 word abstract
and references.
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 talks schedule, as well as several sessions devoted to
focused discussion on a number of topics raised during the meeting.
The conference will feature the award of the biannual J. S. Bell Prize
for Research in Fundamental Issues in Quantum Mechanics and their Applications.
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.
Program
Please note that the Plenary talks and Bell Prize Session will be recorded
for the FieldsLive Archives.
If you are a speaker who would like their talk to be recorded for the FieldsLive
archive, please speak with a program coordinator (Fields Institute, room
222).
