This will be a follow up to our conference in 2009, “The Second International Conference on Quantum Information and Technology (ICQIT)” http://www.qis.ex.nii.ac.jp/icqit2010/index.html, We would like to put out a general call for participation in this event. The short conference focuses on,
- Active quantum devices for quantum communications and quantum computation,
- System development for quantum computers, repeater networks and quantum simulators,
- Experimental progress in solid state and optics based quantum devices,
- Computational Models for large scale computation, specifically topological coding techniques
- Classical control of large scale quantum systems
The current list of accepted invited speakers are,
Keiichi Edamatsu (Tohoku Univ, Japan)
Masatoshi Fujisawa (TiTech, Tokyo)
Masahito Hayashi (Tohoku Univ, Japan)
Miguel A. Martin-Delgado (Universidad Complutense, Madrid)
