AQIS¡¯08
 8th Asian Conference on Quantum Information Science
August 25 - 31, 2008
Tutorial: August 25-26,       Main conference August 27 - 30,           Special Programs: August 31
KIAS, Seoul, Korea
http://newton.kias.re.kr/aqis08/
The AQIS¡¯08 meeting will focus on recent advances in quantum information science and technology. This is an interdisciplinary field that bridges quantum physics, computer science, mathematics, and computing technologies. AQIS¡¯08 will be the natural successor of the meetings EQIS¡¯01-EQIS¡¯05 and AQIS¡¯06-AQIS¡¯07.
AQIS¡¯08, by tradition, will consist of invited talks, selected oral presentations and posters, and other activities.
Contributions for short communications and posters are solicited in the research areas that relate to quantum information science and technology, both theory and experiments. This includes, but is not limited to:
• Quantum algorithms and complexity theory
• Quantum cryptography
• Quantum information theory
• Quantum entanglement, non-locality
• Quantum error correction, decoherence
• Quantum optics, NMR, and solid-state technologies
• Quantum processors and computers design schemes
Conference will be preceded by tutorials by leading experts and followed by focused workshops and excursions.
AQIS'08 will have preproceedings and selected papers will be published in special issues of international journals. AQIS'08 will be a fully open conference where anyone can make submissions for oral presentation or/and posters , as well as to suggest an accompanying workshop or tutorial.
Important Dates: (all in 2008)
