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





The Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS) is
organizing a five-day workshop — “The Frontiers of Quantum Information and
Computer Science” — at the University of Maryland from Sept. 28 through
Oct. 2, 2015. The workshop will bring together leading experts from around
the world to share and discuss recent advances at the frontiers of quantum
information and computer science. The workshop overlaps with the QuICS
long-term visitor program in Fall 2015. Participation includes, but is not
limited to, the visiting scientists in this program. QuICS is a research
partnership between the National Institute of Standards and Technology and
the University of Maryland.
