The 4th International Conference on Quantum Information will be held June 6-8, 2011 (with participants gathering Sunday, June 5) at the campus of the University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada.

Quantum information is an exciting, rapidly growing area of scientific interest and development, attracting cutting-edge theoretical and experimental research worldwide. Entanglement is a key resource for quantum information and quantum computing, whereas decoherence is the main adversary. Optical methods play a key role in many implementations of quantum information. The meeting will concentrate on entanglement, decoherence and optical methods, but contributions from all areas of quantum information science are welcome.


Plenary Speakers

  • Non-destructive Field Measurements and Quantum Feedback Experiments in Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics, Serge Haroche, Ecole Normale Supérieure, France
  • Hyper-entanglement for Fun and Profit, Paul Kwiat, Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
  • Engineered Dissipation for Quantum Information and Many Body Physics, Peter Zoller, Univ. Innsbruck, Austria
