We would like to invite you to apply for the upcoming Aspen Center for Physics 2014 Winter Conference on Advances in Quantum Algorithms and Computation, to be held March 9-14, 2014. The Conference will commence with a Sunday evening reception, with meetings Monday morning through Friday evening.
The conference will highlight topics at the forefront of quantum computing and bring together experts from a rich diversity of backgrounds to further the development of quantum algorithms and to discuss the key challenges in developing new techniques for solving computational problems on a quantum computer. Specific topics include:
• Quantum Algorithms
• Adiabatic Quantum Optimization and Quantum Annealing
• Quantum Walks
• Quantum Simulation of Physical Systems
• Classical Methods for Simulation of Quantum Algorithms
• Quantum Fault Tolerance and Error Correction
The conference will consist of invited talks and poster submissions. Confirmed speakers include:
