Dear Colleagues,
The deadline to apply for attending the Workshop for Quantum Repeaters
and Networks has been extended to February 13th, 2015.

The workshop will be held from May 15-17, 2015 in historic Asilomar
Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California.  It is a follow-up to
the Quantum Repeater Symposium held as a part of CLEO/QELS 2014 in San
Jose.  The goal of this workshop is to bring the active research
community together to discuss the progress, challenges and new
possible directions for quantum repeaters and networks.

In order to establish a productive workshop with plenty of
discussions, the number of attendees at the workshop will be limited
to no more than 100.  Applicants are thus asked to submit either a
poster abstract or a brief statement of their background and
motivation for attending.  Participants will be notified by the end of
February.

Online application is via the conference website:

We are looking forward to a productive workshop and encourage you to apply!

Sincerely,
the Organizing Committee
