Coogee'11

Sydney Quantum Information Theory Workshop

17-20 January 2011

Coogee Bay Hotel, Coogee, Sydney


This will be a small, focussed workshop bringing together leading and up-and-coming international and Australian researchers and research students in quantum information theory. The aim is to present new results (or even new research directions without results yet) with lots of time to discuss. The program will consist of a limited number of invited talks with considerable time for discussion. PhD students and postdocs are very welcome and encouraged to participate.

The focus topics of this workshop include:
  • quantum computation with spin lattices;
  • quantum memories: topological, self-correcting, and related;
  • quantum error correction and the renormalization group/emergence.
