O brave new quantum world!
Theory of Computation as a Lens on the Sciences
University of California, Berkeley, May 7-8, 2011
Registration for this conference will begin on Thursday, March 31 at
http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/IPRO/lensconference2011 . There is no charge for registration. We hope you will be able to attend.
The conference will explore the theme that many processes in the physical, biological, engineering, and social sciences involve information processing at a fundamental level and can be studied through computational models. A conference held in Berkeley in May, 2002 helped crystallize this theme as a promising direction of research, and this second conference will highlight the impact of the computational lens on areas such as quantum information science, statistical physics, social networks, economics and game theory, genetics, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, cognitive science, mathematics, statistics and machine learning.
