After John Preskill’s call for more quantum participation at the APS March Meeting, I couldn’t say no to a request for a blurb about quantum info and foundations! The following is a guest post by Giulio Chiribella.<\/em>
\nFollowing up the previous post by John Preskill, I’d like\u00a0draw your attention\u00a0to the focus session “Quantum Information for Quantum Foundations” which will take place at the APS March Meeting 2012.
\nIf you are interested in the conceptual and fundamental aspects of Quantum Information, this is the right session for you to come and present your work!\u00a0The event promises to be lively and stimulating, and will be a great occasion to advertise your recent results.
\nOn top of that,\u00a0your participation will give an important support to foundational research.The foundational space at the March meeting is a great opportunity for our community. \u00a0But it is vital to keep this space alive,\u00a0responding with a visible participation and\u00a0presenting talks on the best of the foundational\u00a0research in Quantum Information. This is not hard to do: Over the past few\u00a0years there has been an enormous amount of progresses and a burst of new exciting results at the interface between Quantum Information and Foundations. \u00a0Also,\u00a0we should not\u00a0forget of the numerous results in Quantum Information that, even\u00a0without being explicitly foundational, continue to shed a bright light on the\u00a0operational features of Quantum Theory. \u00a0 It is enough to have such a\u00a0vibrant scientific landscape represented next March in Boston to make\u00a0the foundational session memorable!
\nThis year’s session will start with an invited talk by Valerio Scarani, who will summarize the main ideas and the latest developments on\u00a0Information Causality. Valerio’s talk will be\u00a0followed by a lineup of contributed talks, which hopefully would\u00a0be as many and as lively as the talks of last year’s edition, organized by Chris Fuchs, which has been a very successful event.
\nTo participate to the session, you can submit your abstract\u00a0at the webpage\u00a0http:\/\/www.aps.org\/meetings\/abstract\/index.cfm<\/a>.\u00a0(don’t forget that the deadline for submissions is this Friday November 11th 2011!)
\nA last remark before concluding: \u00a0Chatting with colleagues sometimes I\u00a0noticed that potential speakers are discouraged by the 12\u00a0minutes format, which seems too short to present all the relevant\u00a0details. We should remind, however, that presenting details is not really\u00a0the point here: The APS Meetings are huge events where the whole\u00a0physics community meets to highlight advancements and to\u00a0advertise new ideas across fields, not to address the\u00a0specialists of one particular field. \u00a0The format of the March Meeting talks is designed to\u00a0rapidly advertise new results, and if you discover that you would like\u00a0to know more about one particular result… \u00a0well, during the meeting there\u00a0is a lot of free time where you can interact directly (and more efficiently) \u00a0with the speaker about the details of her\/his work.
\nSo, let us take the event in the right spirit and make the foundational\u00a0space at the March Meeting a real exciting forum for the exchange of\u00a0new ideas!
\nHope to see many of you in Boston!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
