Thomas Vidick has done a great job of breaking the list into categories and posting links to papers: <a href=\"https:\/\/mycqstate.wordpress.com\/2012\/11\/13\/qip-2013-accepts\/\">see here<\/a>.  He missed only one that I&#8217;m aware of: Kamil Michnicki&#8217;s paper on stabilizer codes with power law energy barriers is indeed online at <a href=\"http:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/1208.3496\">arXiv:1208.3496<\/a>.  Here are Thomas&#8217;s categories, together with the number of talks in each category.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Ground states of local Hamiltonians (4)\n<li> Cryptography (3)\n<li> Nonlocality (6)\n<li> Topological computing and error-correcting codes (4)\n<li> Algorithms and query complexity (6)\n<li> Information Theory (9)\n<li> Complexity (2)\n<li> Thermodynamics (2)\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other categorizations are also possible, and one important emerging trend (for some years now) is the way that the &#8220;information theory&#8221; has broadened far beyond quantum Shannon theory.  To indulge in a little self-promotion, my paper <a href=\"http:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/1210.6367\">1210.6367<\/a> with Brandao is an example of how information-theoretic tools can be usefully applied to many contexts that do not involve sending messages at optimal rates.<br \/>\nIt would be fascinating to see how these categories have evolved over the years.  A cynic might say that our community is fad-driven, but instead I that the evolution in QIP topics represents our field working to find its identity and relevance.<br \/>\nOn another note, <a href=\"http:\/\/conference.iiis.tsinghua.edu.cn\/QIP2013\/trave-grant.html\">travel grants are available<\/a> to students and postdocs who want to attend QIP, thanks to funding from the NSF and other organizations.  You don&#8217;t have to have a talk there, but being an active researcher in quantum information is a plus.  Beware that the deadline is <b>November 15<\/b> and this is also the deadline for reference letters from advisors.<br \/>\nSo <a href=\"http:\/\/conference.iiis.tsinghua.edu.cn\/QIP2013\/trave-grant.html\">apply now!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The accepted talk list for QIP 2013 is now online.
