A workshop on
Quantum Information Science
Department of Mathematics,
The University of Hong Kong
January 7-8, 2010
(Pre-workshop lectures: January 6, 2010)
Room 210, Run Run Shaw Building
Purpose
The purpose of the workshop is to introduce this fast developing
subject to beginning researchers, stimulate research and foster
interaction of researchers interested in the subject. The informal workshop
atmosphere will facilitate the exchange of ideas from different research
areas and, hopefully, the participants will leave informed of the latest
developments and newest ideas.
