2nd Workshop on
Quantum Information Science

Department of Applied Mathematics,
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
January 4-5, 2011

Purpose

The purpose of this 2nd workshop is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working in quantum information science so that scholars can exchange ideas and understand the important problems and results in the area. 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.
