Past Seminars 2006-2007

Past Seminars 2007-2008

Quantum Computation is an exciting and rapidly growing field that brings together ideas from  the greatest revolutions in twentieth-century science,  Quantum Mechanics and Classical Information Theory. The very nature of the field implies collaboration between researchers working on very diverse subjects ranging from device physics to abstract computer science and mathematics. The success of the field is impossible without such collaborations.

The idea of this seminar series is to bring together researchers working on diverse aspects of Quantum Computation and its Physical Implementations. The topics of the talks will cover both mathematical and physical aspects of the field and they will be held biweekly alternating between Rutgers and NEC.

The seminars are sponsored jointly by research groups at Computer Science and Physics Departments at Rutgers and NEC.

The organizers:

Lara Faoro (Rutgers)
Lev Ioffe (Rutgers)
Martin Roetteler (NEC)
Mario Szegedy (Rutgers)
