Subject: QICS School: Foundational Structures in Quantum Comp & Inf, May 24-28, Oxford (followed by Quantum Physics and Logic workshop)
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 01:07:15 +0000 (GMT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.64.1003270105050.1159@merc3.comlab> (raw)

[ The Types Forum (announcements only), 
     http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ]

Spring School that marks the end of an EU FP6 FET STREP on:
Foundational Structures in Quantum Computation and Information
May 24-28, 2010, Oxford University, UK
http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/people/Bob.Coecke/QICS_School.html

It consists on extended tutorials on the main research strands within QICS, 
namely:
* Structures and methods for measurement-based quantum computation
* Categorical semantics, logics, diagrammatic methods
* Classical-quantum interaction and information flow
* Quantum automata, machines, calculi

Topics that will be covered include:
* measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC); properties of graph states; MBQC 
and condensed matter physics; blind quantum computation; determinism in MBQC; 
measurement-based classical computation and non-locality;
* monoidal categories, Frobenius algebras, and their graphical calculus; 
(co)algebra of complementary observables and multipartite quantum entanglement, 
and applications to MBQC; phase groups and non-locality;
* classical simulation of quantum circuits; categorical topological quantum 
computation; graphical calculus for measurements and channels; generalized 
probabilistic theories; convex operational models and non-locality;
* quantum cellular automata (QCA); QCAs and causality; higher types in quantum 
computing; quantum logics and quantum machines; colagebraic methods;

Confirmed lecturers include (more to be announced closer to date):
Samson Abramsky (Oxford), Pablo Arrighi (Grenoble), Howard Barnum (Perimeter), 
Jonathan Barrett (Bristol, TBC), Dan Browne (UCL - London), Bob Coecke 
(Oxford), Ross Duncan (Oxford), Joe Fitzsimons (Oxford), Akimasa Miyake 
(Perimeter), Prakash Panangaden (McGill), Simon Perdrix (Grenoble), Peter 
Selinger (Dalhousie), Maarten van den Nest (Max-Planck, TBC), Reinhard F. 
Werner (Hannover)
