YITP Workshop on Quantum Information Physics

Scope

Quantum information physics is a rapidly developing field of research which merges quantum physics and quantum information theory at a very deep bottom and is gathering much interest. The field is involved with various fundamental issues of physics, including: information loss problem of black hole evaporation, topological orders of condensed matter physics, and reinterpretation of AdS/CFT correspondence using tensor networks in quantum information theory. YQIP 2014 is the first YITP international workshop emphasizing a focus on quantum information physics. The workshop will take place between August 4th and August 7th, 2014 and will feature invited talks, contributed talks, and a poster session. The registration fee for the workshop is free. We hope to be able to partially support local expenses for mainly young participants; who are invited to give oral and/or poster presentations.
