A workshop in the beautiful Pyrenees anyone? Can life get any better for a quantum computing scientist than spending time in the mountains doing quantum information science?
BENASQUE 2007
Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to inform you that following a very successful editions of Benasque 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2005 we are organizing another workshop of the similar type in June 2007. This is to invite you to apply using
the electronic form that you can find on the website specified below. We encourage you to apply as soon as
possible and not later than the end of March 2007. The number of participants at the Benasque Centre at any given time is limited to about 50. We will do our best to accommodate most of the applicants, however, in some cases we may be unable to find suitable time slots for all of them, i.e. we cannot guarantee acceptance. Budget permitting, we expect to offer a modest allowance to some participants. Preference will be given to those staying for the whole
duration of the workshop.
We do hope to see you in Benasque next year!
Ignacio Cirac and Artur Ekert

Note that Pedro Pascual, one of the founders of the Benasque Center for Physics, passed away in October (he was 72). I included a short obit in the latest Quantum Times.
Pascual was coauthor, with Galindo, of a pretty standard book on Quantum Mechanics. You can find it in the internet.
And yep, go to Benasque. Nice walks, small town life for some weeks, and opportunity to blog between sessions.
