(January 18 - 22, 2010)

The annual Workshop on Quantum Information Processing (QIP) is one of the major meetings in the area of quantum information and computation.
In January 2010, QIP will be held in Switzerland. We will thus have the exceptional opportunity of having numerous renowned scientists in the field around. It is planned to invite some of them to give tutorials related to their research. The idea is to focus on particularly active subfields and topics that are connected to research done by research groups at ETH.  These include

• Quantum error correction and fault tolerant quantum computing (with a focus on new error models)
• One-way computing and alternative computational models
• Channel coding (including questions related to the additivity problem)
• Continuous-variable information processing

Dates:

The week before or after the QIP workshop, January 2010 (1 week)

Although the actual program will depend on the participants of QIP, we propose here a list of speakers that seems realistic to us.

• Antonio Acin (ICFO,  Barcelona)
• Hans Briegel (Innsbruck, Austria)
• Jens Eisert (Imperial, London)
• Daniel Gottesman  (Perimeter, Waterloo)
• Philippe Grangier (CNRS, Orsay)
• Patrick Hayden (McGill,  Montreal)
• Jonathan Oppenheim (U Cambridge)
• Martin Plenio (Imperial, London)
• Barbara Terhal (IBM, New York)
• Andreas Winter (U Bristol)
