The International programme on Quantum Information will be held at Institute of Physics (IOP), Bhubaneswar during Jan4-30th 2010. One of the main goal is to bring together quantum physicists, computer scientists and mathematicians to discuss the current status of the field. We also encourage to present important recent developments in the area of quantum information science and pure quantum theory. It is hoped that all the participants and invited speakers will raise many open questions and fundamental issues which are yet to be understood. We will give emphasis on reviewing the major challenges in the field.

In this programme, we plan to cover various quantum algorithms, quantum communication and quantum cryptography, quantum entanglement and non locality, various quantum information processing protocols, quantum channels and operations. We will also take up topics from general quantum theory and fundamental questions related to quantum theory.

Plan of the Program

First Week: Quantum Computation and Quantum Algorithms.

Second Week:: Quantum Information Theory.

Third Week: Quantum Entanglement Theory.

Fourth Week: Foundational aspects of quantum theory and extending quantum information theory to other domains of physics. These may include PT-symmetric quantum theory, relativistic quantum information theory, black holes and quantum information, some non-trivial generalization of quantum theory and topics alike.

Each week we shall have pedagogical lectures, mini-workshop and discussion meetings relating to the theme of the week. Morning hours will consist of two pedagogical lectures each of duration one and half hour. Afternoon session will consist of three seminars each of duration one hour where participants can deliver original research work. In addition tutorial session and collaborative efforts will be carried out in the evening hours.

Location: Bhubaneswar is the capital of Orissa. It is surrounded by many scenic beatuies. Some of the top attractions are famous Sun temple, Puri Temple situated near sea, Nandan Kanan, and many other historic temples. For more information about Bhubaneswar please visit:
