IPQI - 2014

Aim & Scope of the Conference

The International programme on Quantum Information will be held at Institute of Physics (IOP), Bhubaneswar during Feb 17-28, 2014. One of the major goals is to bring together quantum physicists, computer scientists and mathematicians to discuss the current status of the field. We also encourage to present important recent developments in the area of quantum information science and pure quantum theory. It is hoped that all the participants and invited speakers will raise many open questions and fundamental issues which are yet to be understood. We will give emphasis on reviewing the major challenges in the field.

In this programme, we plan to cover various quantum algorithms, quantum communication and quantum cryptography, quantum entanglement and non locality, various quantum information processing protocols, quantum channels and operations. We will also take up topics from general quantum theory and fundamental questions related to quantum theory.

Plan of the Program

First Week: Classical and Quantum Information, Cryptography and Quantum Computation.

Second Week: Quantum Entanglement, Foundational aspects of quantum theory, Nonlocality.

Each week we shall have pedagogical lectures, discussion meetings relating to the theme of the week. Morning hours will consist of two pedagogical lectures each of duration one and half hour. Afternoon session will consist of three seminars each of duration forty-five minutes where participants can deliver original research work. In addition tutorial session and collaborative efforts will be carried out in the evening hours.
