Dear colleagues,



I would be very grateful if you would forward the announcement below to
your local mailing lists and groups.



Please note that we welcome contributions to the poster session on general
topics in quantum computing and quantum information.



Many thanks and Happy New Year!

AQC2013 - Second International Workshop on Adiabatic Quantum Computing

6th - 8th March 2013, Institute of Physics, London, UK

The Second International Workshop on Adiabatic Quantum Computing (AQC
2013), hosted and organised jointly by University College London and the
Quantum Optics, Quantum Information and Quantum Control Group of the
Institute of Physics, brings together researchers from different
communities to explore this computational paradigm. The goal of the
workshop is to initiate a cross-platform dialogue on the implementation
challenges that must be overcome to realise useful adiabatic quantum
computations in existing or near-term hardware. The workshop will have a
special focus on AMO (Atomic, Molecular, and Optical) and solid-state
technologies.

Registration and abstract submission are open at the workshop web-site:

https://www.eventsforce.net/iop/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=124932&eventID=300&eventID=300

Please note that for the poster session, contributions on general topics in
quantum computing and quantum information are encouraged.
