Overview
Quantum information (QI) and Quantum Control (QC) are both hot topics
with promising, yet mostly unexplored overlap. This conference will
bring together physicists, chemists, computer scientists, and mathematicians
to discuss the current status of the two fields and present important
recent developments. Despite substantial progress in the last few years,
there are also very many open questions and fundamental issues to be
understood. An important goal of the conference is to explore the overlap
between QI and QC, and for the first time provide a venue for communication
between the two communities.
Location
All the keynote and invited talks talks will be held in Room 1130 of
the Bahen Center for Information Technology (BA1130), located immediately
behind the Fields Institute. (Map)
The contributed talks will be held in BA1130, BA1170 and Room 230 of
The Fields Institute, as indicated next to the talk listings on the
schedule.

Themes and Structure
Day 1: Quantum Computation and Information
Chairs: Peter Shor (theory) , Chris Monroe (experiment)
Day 2: Quantum Cryptography
Chairs: Mike Mosca (theory), Richard Hughes (experiment)
Day 3: Quantum Control
Chairs: David Tannor (theory), Robert Gordon (experiment)
Day 4: Quantum Error Correction
Chairs: Dave Bacon (theory), Lorenza Viola (experiment)
Day 5: will feature one invited talk from each theme, and a concluding
keynote talk.
Each of the themes in Days 1-2 will feature one keynote talk, 5 invited
talks, 6 contributed talks, and a poster session. Each theme will
be chaired by one theoretician and one experimentalist. Day 3 will
have one keynote, 5 invited and 12 contributed talks, and a poster
session. Day 4 will be the same as Day 3 with no poster session.
A keynote talk will be 50min, an invited talk 40min, and contributed
talks 20min, including time for questions. The session chairs will
each have 15min for their comments about their session's theme.
If submitting a contributed talks please indicate which day/session
you would like to speak and whether your talk is theoretical or experimental.
