We would like to invite you to apply for the upcoming\u00a0Aspen Center for Physics 2014 Winter Conference on Advances in Quantum<\/b>\u00a0Algorithms and Computation<\/b>, to be held\u00a0March 9-14, 2014<\/b>.\u00a0 The Conference will commence with a\u00a0Sunday\u00a0evening reception, with\u00a0meetings\u00a0Monday\u00a0morning through\u00a0Friday\u00a0evening.<\/p>\n
This conference highlights topics at the forefront of quantum computing and underlines the need to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas among scientists in order to further the possibility of breakthroughs in quantum algorithms. With the latest advances in quantum devices and quantum algorithms, it is an opportune time to discuss the current challenges and the possibility of breakthrough \u201ckiller applications\u201d for a quantum computer beyond factoring. The primary goal of this winter conference is to bring together experts from a rich diversity of backgrounds to further the prospect of revolutions in quantum algorithms, and to discuss the key challenges in developing new techniques for solving computational problems on a quantum computer. Quantum algorithms take advantage of methods founded on the laws of quantum physics and promise computational speed-ups over classical methods. Most quantum algorithms draw from a small number of techniques, such as amplitude amplification, quantum annealing, and quantum phase estimation, and offer fast solutions to problems in a variety of fields including number theory, database search, physical simulation, chemistry and physics.<\/p>\n
