| An Advanced Study Institute (ASI) is a high-level
teaching activity where a carefully defined subject,
systematically presented, is treated in depth by lecturers
of international standings, and new advances in a subject,
not taught elsewhere, are reported in tutorial form.
ASIs, as short courses, contribute to the dissemination of
knowledge and the formation of international scientific
contact. Although the teaching in an ASI is aimed at
scientists at the postdoctoral level with an appropriate
scientific background, scientists at all levels of experience
are encouraged to participate.
The aim of this ASI is to review the remarkable progress
made in Quantum Information
and Quantum Computation over the last few years and address the
current state-of-the-art research and its impact on
technological applications. This will be accomplished by a
series of lectures, systematically presented, by scientists
of international standing. In addition, new theoretical and
experimental advances in the Quantum Information Processing area
will be reported in tutorial form by a few contributed papers.
The proposed ASI will be a ten-day intensive meeting
including in-depth lectures, specialized seminars,
and contributed papers, as well as poster sessions.
The proceedings of the ASI will be published in a
carefully prepared volume entitled "Quantum Information and
Quantum Computation: From Theory to Experiments", within 3
months
after you have submitted your camera-ready manuscript.
The ASI will start on the morning of Tuesday the
3rd of May (Welcoming reception
in the evening of Monday the 2nd)
and finish by lunch time on Friday the 13th.
