Registration deadline: January 15, 2018

The Quantum Computer Science School is a week-long series of lectures and academic activities for senior undergraduates and graduates, held at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia, between 22 to 25 January 2018. The lectures of this school will focus on topics from quantum information, quantum computation, and computer science. This gives a good opportunity for students to catch up with the trend of quantum software and information. This event also features a public lecture by Prof Andrew Yao from Tsinghua University. Senior undergraduate and graduates in science and engineering are very welcome to participate in this school. More detailed information, including how to register, can be found on the event website.

Quantum Computation school

The 3.5-day Spring school will bring TCS researchers up to speed on the current excitement in quantum computing. The past decade had marked tremendous experimental progress, from one or two-qubit devices to dozens of qubits and more. What are the theoretical models for such devices, and what are their prospects? Can they be classically simulated, and if not, can they accomplish algorithmic speed-ups? What are the obstacles to full-blown fault-tolerant quantum computation? And what does all this tell us about complexity theory, cryptography, and quantum information?
