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)
