31st Jerusalem Winter School in Theoretical Physics

Advanced graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from all over the world are invited to participate in the 31st Jerusalem Winter School in Theoretical Physics, to be held from 30 December 2013 to 9 January 2014 at the Israel Institute for Advanced Studies at The Hebrew University. Each of ten leading scientists will give a series of lectures on the following topics:

Scott Aaronson (MIT), Quantum complexity and quantum optics
David DiVincenzo (Aachen), Quantum computing with superconducting circuits
Daniel Harlow (Princeton), Black holes and quantum information
Michal Horodecki (Gdansk), Quantum information and thermodynamics
Stephen Jordan (NIST), Quantum algorithms
Rob Myers (Perimeter), Entanglement in quantum field theory
Renato Renner (ETH), Quantum foundations
Ady Stern (Weizmann), Topological quantum computing
Barbara Terhal (Aachen), Quantum error correction
Frank Verstraete (Vienna), Quantum information and quantum matter

Please pass this information on to people who might be interested. Those wishing to attend the school should visit this website
