Dear Quantum Algorithm Enthusiasts,

We would like to invite you to apply for the upcoming Aspen Center for
Physics 2016 Winter Conference on Advances in Quantum Algorithms and
Computation, to be held March 20-26, 2016.  The Conference will
commence with a Sunday evening reception, with meetings Monday morning
through Saturday morning.

The application deadline is December 15, 2015. Please complete your
application at http://www.aspenphys.org.  The conference website is at
http://www.aspenphys.org/physicists/winter/2014/quantum/.

The conference will highlight topics at the forefront of quantum
computing and quantum algorithms. The primary goal is to bring
together experts from a rich diversity of backgrounds to further the
prospect of revolutions in quantum algorithms, and to discuss the key
challenges in developing new techniques for solving computational
problems on a quantum computer. Specific topics to be covered at the
conference include:

•         Quantum Algorithms
•         Adiabatic Quantum Optimization and Quantum Annealing
•         Quantum Simulation of Physical Systems
•         Classical Methods for Simulation of Quantum Algorithms
•         Quantum Fault Tolerance and Error Correction
•         Quantum Hardware Advances



The conference will consist of invited talks and poster submissions.
There will also be a poster award. Some poster submissions may be
considered for contributed talks.  Limited travel support is
available; please apply in the online application.

Invited speakers include:
Scott Aaronson (MIT)
Alan Aspuru Guzik (Harvard)
Bela Bauer (Station Q)
Rainer Blatt (Innsbruck)
Hector Bombin (Copenhagen)
Sergey Bravyi (IBM)
Andrew Childs (U. Maryland)
