Quantum Communication Workshop 2010

Quantum Communication: State and Perspectives

Theoretical Approaches and Experimental Implementations

February 1st – 2nd, 2010

UNIK - University Graduate Center, Gunnar Randers vei 19, 2027 Kjeller, Norway

 

QCW2010 is a two-day workshop on theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum communication and quantum cryptography.

This event is organized by UNIK - University Graduate Center of Kjeller, at the Kjeller Technology Cluster, located half-way between the Oslo Airport and downtown Oslo in Norway.

 

QCW2010 will focus on practical advanced solutions for quantum communication and cryptography currently under development in European and world-wide partnerships involving academic research centers, commercial companies and public consortia.

        

Quantum communication technologies developed in the trusted environment of experimental laboratories have recently addressed industrialization and commercialization, thus facing expected and unexpected challenges: from security vs. business requirements and conformity to standardization and legal specifications, to field operational tests under malevolent attacks.

 

Aiming to provide network security for communications, quantum fiber-based and free-space technologies are both becoming a reality across optical networks, and will thus be discussed at QCW2010 by experts in the field within a global perspective.

Quantum Information Science (QIS) Special Issue

Introduction

EJTP team is planning to dedicate a Special Issue to the nascent yet exponentially evolving field of “Quantum Information Science (QIS)”. QIS is emerging as one of the most revolutionary offshoots of the quantum world in the last two decades. Research is progressing at a feverish pace with new and significant results being reported on a day to day basis.  Even more encouraging is the fact that QIS still remains an immensely fertile research proposition with accomplishments leading to more “open questions” thereby stimulating further investigations.

 

QIS essentially embraces the study of information theoretic aspects of information processing (e.g. communication/computing) using quantum mechanical unitary operations. QIS studies have already resulted in identifying associations between quantum physics, physics of communications and computer science with potential for development of technologies that could completely revolutionize information processing involving dramatic speedups of computing tasks, unconditional secure communications etc. At a more fundamental level, studies in QIS and the related phenomena of quantum entropy, entanglement & decoherence have provided valuable insights into the black hole dynamics and other aspects of cosmological physics etc.

 

Objectives of the Special Issue

 

Realizing the immense promise held out by QIS, on the one hand, and the numerous challenges that need to be surmounted by the physics community before the power and versatility of this resource can be harnessed into productive activities, on the other, the EJTP team finds it an opportune time to come up with a Special EJTP Issue dedicated exclusively to QIS. This would provide researchers with a collective platform for presenting their findings to the extended readership within a short gestation.

 

The Special Issue would relate to all facets of QIS including, in particular, but not restricted to

 

(a)       Quantum Information Theory &  Quantum Entropy

(b)       Quantum Entanglement, Decoherence & Quantum Measurements

(c)       Quantum Computation & Algorithms

(d)       Quantum Error Corrections

(e)       Quantum Cryptography

(f)        Fundamental Issues in QIS e.g. Bell Inequalities, Nonlocality etc.

(g)       Experimental Issues in QIS

(h)       Quantum Communications

(i)        QIS & Fundamental Physics e.g. QFT, GTR, Black Hole Dynamics & Cosmology.
