I am writing to encourage your participation in the 2012 APS March Meeting in Boston on February 27 through March 2. Note that the meeting is earlier than usual this year and the deadline for submission of abstracts is correspondingly earlier: November 11, 2011.<\/p>\n
This year, the APS Topical Group on Quantum Information (GQI) will sponsor or co-sponsor seven sessions of invited talks:
\nTopological quantum computing with Majorana fermions (Jason Alicea, Jay Deep Sau, Leo Kouwenhoven, Anton Akhmerov, Piet Brouwer)
\nQuantum entanglement in many-body systems (Eugene Polzik, Frank Verstraete, Dietrich Leibfried, Xiao-Gang Wen, Scott Aaronson)
\nQuantum simulations (Ian Spielman, Rainer Blatt, Steven Girvin, Mohammad Hafezi, Ehud Altman)
\nQuantum computing with superconducting circuits (Irfan Siddiqi, Chris Wilson, Matthias Steffen, Matteo Mariantoni, Matthew Reed)
\nQuantum information processing in diamond (Fedor Jelezco, Kai-Mei Fu, Jack Harris, Hannes Bernien, Lee Bassett)
\nSilicon spin qubits (Christie Simmons, Mark Gyure, Jarryd Pla, Wayne Witzel, Xuedong Hu)
\nTeaching quantum information science at liberal arts colleges (Benjamin Schumacher, Michael Westmoreland, William Wootters, Herbert Bernstein, Enrique Galvez)<\/p>\n
In addition, there will be GQI-sponsored Focus Sessions including both invited and contributed talks. More information about the Focus Sessions is here:
\nhttp:\/\/www.aps.org\/meetings\/march\/scientific\/focus3.cfm#17.1.1
\nWe are eager to receive contributions relating to all aspects of quantum information science, not just the topics represented in the Focus Sessions.<\/p>\n
To register and submit an abstract go to:
\nhttp:\/\/www.aps.org\/meetings\/march\/
\nTo ensure that your talk is scheduled in an appropriate session, you should flag your abstract with the proper Focus Topic or Sorting Category, chosen from the list appended below.<\/p>\n
The March Meeting is a valuable opportunity for quantum information enthusiasts to exchange ideas with the broader physics community, and to raise the visibility of our field. This year’s meeting will be especially exciting, and your participation is vitally important. I and the rest of the GQI Executive Committee look forward to seeing you in Boston.<\/p>\n
