3rd Workshop
on
Quantum Information Science

Department of Applied Mathematics,
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
January 3-4, 2012

Purpose

The purpose of this 3rd workshop is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working in quantum information so that can exchange ideas and understand the import problems and results in this 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.

Organizers

  • Hoi-Fung Chau, The University of Hong Kong.
  • Chi-Kwong Li, College of William and Mary.
  • Raymond Nung-Sing Sze, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Venue

Room M1603, Lee Ka Shing Tower, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Hong Kong (Campus map)
