The Princeton Center for Theoretical Physics and The MITRE Corporation will host a "Symposium on Frontiers in Quantum Computation” on Wednesday, September 26, 2007 from 9 am – 5 pm in Room A10, Jadwin Hall, Princeton University. Registration is required for this free workshop at http://www.pctp.princeton.edu/pctp/
The speakers are David DiVincenzo, IBM; Jason Petta, Princeton University; Gerald Gilbert, The MITRE Corporation; Steven Simon, Bell Labs; Lev Ioffe, Rutgers; Umesh Vazirani, Berkeley; and Daniel Loss, Basel Switzerland.
This symposium is part of a year long program which will focus on three aspects of realizing quantum computers: first, the interface between quantum algorithms and physics (can classes of quantum algorithms be mapped into problems interesting to physicists?); second, the design of practical quantum computing hardware and the specialization of algorithms to that hardware; and, third, the possible realization of the "topological quantum computing" approach using quantum many-body systems exhibiting "topological phases."
The Princeton Center for Theoretical Physics is a new, University-funded enterprise dedicated to exploring frontiers across the theoretical natural sciences. Its purpose is to promote interaction among theorists and seed new directions in research, especially in areas cutting across traditional disciplinary boundaries.
