Abstract

0221520 Imamoglu This Pan America Advanced Studies Institute (PASI) award on Quantum Information, jointly supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE), is being organized by Dr. Atac Imamoglu of the University of California-Santa Barbara in collaboration with Dr. L. Davidovich of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The meeting, which will be held January 12 -23, 2003 in both Buzios and Salvador, Brazil, will bring together leading researchers, advanced graduate students, post-doctoral and junior scientists in the field of quantum information. Over the past few years, the field of quantum information has evolved to become truly interdisciplinary with contributions from computer science, quantum optics, and condensed matter physics. This interdisciplinary PASI will serve to increase and disseminate understanding of the fundamental issues in the field, and will lead to enhanced collaboration between researchers in the United States and in the rest of the hemisphere.
