16 to 21 September 2007, Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Germany
Quantum Information and Quantum Simulation

Gerd Schön (Karlsruhe) and Dieter Meschede (Bonn)

The science of quantum information is attracting experimenters and theorists from several sub-fields of physics involving quantum optics and condensed matter systems. Lecturers of this school will take participants of the school on a tour ranging from introductory material to recent and novel concepts of frontline research. We expect all physicist at the master’s, doctoral, post-doctoral level and beyond to strongly benefit from the school.
