Dear friends and colleagues:

LAST-MINUTE REMINDER!

There is one week left until the submission deadline for CQIQC-VII,
the 7th biennial Conference on
Quantum Information & Quantum Control.   I would like to most strongly
urge you to submit an abstract if
you have not already done so, as we would be thrilled to have you take
part in the workshop.

In any case, we will be most grateful if you spread the word to
students, postdocs, friends, and others
who might have work to present at CQIQC.

Taking place in Toronto, August 28 – September 1, 2017, this promises
to be an extremely strong meeting as
always, fostering communication among the various communities working
in theory, experiment, and technology
development related to quantum information, quantum control, and
related areas such as quantum foundations
and quantum thermodynamics.

The conference will feature the award of the biannual J. S. Bell Prize
for Research in Fundamental Issues in Quantum Mechanics and their
Applications.

The conference web page can be found at

Please accept my apologies if you have received this announcement
multiple times.

Sincerely yours,

Aephraim



Conference on Quantum Information and Quantum Control VII

August 28 to September 1, 2017, University of Toronto

Description

CQIQC-VII will be the seventh in the series of biennial conferences
jointly organized by the Toronto Centre for Quantum Information &
Quantum Control and the Fields Institute, which aim to bring together
researchers from a broad set of areas ranging from quantum
cryptography and computation to quantum control to quantum foundations
to device fabrication, in a setting which encourages discussion and
can help stimulate new collaborations and interactions.

It is anticipated that CQIQC-VII will be a major international
conference, facilitating interactions between the different sub-fields
being included. The conference will involve a mix of invited and
contributed talks, and posters. There will be roughly 20 40-minute
invited talks, delivered by world leaders of the field and roughly 25
20-minute contributed talks, which will be selected from what we
expect (based on the previous meetings) to be a large pool of truly
excellent work from around the world. There will also be at least one
poster session, during which there will be an opportunity for young
researchers to present work. The meeting will involve researchers at
all stages of their careers, including participation by graduate
students.

Submissions, including a title, the authors, a 250 word abstract and
references, should be made by email to Ms Anna Ho at
aho at chem.utoronto.ca.

Paper Submission (PDF format) Deadline: June 30th
