TQC 2010

Quantum computation, quantum communication, and quantum cryptography are subfields of quantum information processing, an interdisciplinary field of information science and quantum mechanics. TQC 2010 focuses on theoretical aspects of these subfields. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers so that they can interact with each other and share problems and recent discoveries. The conference will be held from April 13-15, 2010, at the University of Leeds. It will consist of invited talks, contributed talks, and a poster session.

The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to:

• quantum algorithms
• models of quantum computation
• quantum complexity theory
• simulation of quantum systems
• quantum cryptography
• quantum communication
• quantum estimation and measurement
• quantum noise
• quantum coding theory
• fault-tolerant quantum computing
• entanglement theory

Invited Speakers:

• Julia Kempe (Tel-Aviv University)
• Kae Nemoto (NII, Tokyo)
• Frank Verstraete (University of Vienna)
• Ronald de Wolf (CWI, Amsterdam)
• Anton Zeilinger (University of Vienna)

Post Proceedings:
As has happened for previous TQCs, a post-conference proceedings volume will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science, to which selected speakers will be invited to contribute.
