The 31st Jerusalem Winter School in Theoretical Physics

Frontiers of Quantum Information Science

Event date: Dec 30, 2013 - Jan 9, 2014

Organizers:

DIrector: John Preskill (Caltech)
Co-directors: Michael Ben-Or (HebrewU), Patrick Hayden (McGill)
General Director: David Gross (UCSB)

Lecturers:

Scott Aaronson (MIT), Quantum complexity and quantum optics
David DiVincenzo (Aachen), Quantum computing with superconducting circuits
Daniel Harlow (Princeton), Black holes and quantum information
Michal Horodecki (Gdansk), Quantum information and thermodynamics
Stephen Jordan (NIST), Quantum algorithms
