Subject: Workshop on the Frontiers of Quantum Information and Computer Science

Dear Friends,

We are holding a quantum information workshop at the University of Maryland from September 28-October 2. You are all of course invited, and furthermore, you are invited to circulate the announcement (below) on the mailing lists of your research groups or institutions. As you can see, we have a great lineup of speakers. I hope to see you there.

Best regards,

Stephen Jordan
