Quantum Control of Light and Matter
Coordinators: Misha Ivanov, Navin Khaneja, David Tannor
Scientific Advisors: Gustav Gerber, Steffen Glaser, Hideo Mabuchi
April 20, 2009 - July 17, 2009
Primary consideration deadline for applications has passed (May 31, 2008)
You may still send an application for consideration:https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/herald/account/login
Conference page: http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/activities/auto/?id=957
Quantum control refers to the application of controlled coherent interactions to direct the dynamics of quantum systems. It is one of the most exciting frontiers in atomic, molecular and optical physics, spanning physics, chemistry and applied mathematics. There are at least five or six subcommunities within quantum control that work on different physical systems and use different languages: the chemical reaction dynamics community, the attosecond community, the NMR community, the quantum optics community, the quantum information community, and the mathematically oriented quantum control theorists.
The conference will bring together leading theorists and experimentalists in each of these subcommunities. In addition to the usual lecture format, an important part of the conference will be panel discussions with two specific goals in mind:
1. to close the gap between theory and experiment and
2. to explore the transferability of concepts and methods from one subcommunity to another.

The Tufts Institute of Cosmology is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. As part of this celebration, it is organizing a four day conference entitled, "CHALLENGES IN THEORETICAL COSMOLOGY". The intent is to bring together the leading researchers in theoretical cosmology to discuss some of the most pressing open issues in the field today. Topics include:
*
COSMIC STRINGS
*
ETERNAL INFLATION
*
THE LANDSCAPE
The conference will take place at the Tufts European Center at Talloires (France) between September 2nd and September 5th, (2009). The format will include 30 invited speakers and a total of about 90 attendees, some of whom will give contributed talks. The Tufts European Center at Talloires is a magnificent venue. It is located on the shores of Lake Annecy at the foot of the French Alps and offers a perfect atmosphere that, we hope, will make this conference not only a successful and enjoyable meeting but a memorable one as well.

Is Science Compatible With Our Desire for Freedom? -- Experts Meeting hosted by the Social Trends Institute in Barcelona, Spain, May 13-15, 2010.
When faced with a conflict between human freedom and a deterministic neuroscience, two rational positions are possible: either human freedom is an illusion, or deterministic neuroscience is not the last word about the brain and will eventually be superseded by a neuroscience admitting processes not completely determined by the past. Accordingly, this Experts Meeting aims to investigate whether it is possible to have a science in which there is room for human freedom, and in particular whether today's quantum physics might offer an appropriate framework for this purpose.

Is Science Compatible with Our Desire for Freedom?
A distinguished group of neuroscientists, physicists and philosophers will gather in Barcelona from October 28-30, 2010 to explore whether a science in which there is room for human freedom is possible. The conflict between human freedom and a deterministic neuroscience can lead us to conclude either that human freedom is an illusion, or that such science is not the last word about the brain and must eventually be superseded by a neuroscience that admits processes not completely determined by the past. Might today's quantum physics be the key to resolving this apparent conflcit?

CALL for PAPERS (Special Issue)
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL of QUANTUM INFORMATION
Quantum Correlations: entanglement and beyond
GUEST EDITORS
Shunlong Luo (Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN)
Sabrina Maniscalco (Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK)
Kavan Modi (National University of Singapore, SG)
G. Massimo Palma (University of Palermo, IT)
Matteo G. A. Paris (University of Milano, IT)
Quantum correlations have been the subject of intensive studies in the
last two decades, mainly due to the general belief that they are
fundamental resources for quantum information processing and other
tasks in quantum technology. The first rigorous attempt to address the
classification of quantum correlations was put forward by Werner, who
formalized the elusive concept of quantum entanglement. More recently,
other quantities, as such quantum discord, have been proposed to
capture different aspects of the quantumness of correlations. In
parallel, several applications where quantum, classical, hybrid
correlations play a role have been suggested and implemented. Among
them we mention quantum imaging, interferometry, state engineering,
computing and entanglement-assisted quantum measurements.
This special issue is aimed to collect papers addressing both
fundamental problems and applications, thus offering to readers
comprehensive and up-to-date overview on the characterization and use
of quantum correlations. We welcome papers that address fundamental
aspects of quantum and classical correlations in discrete and
continuous variable systems, propose implementations to make
quantitative measurements of quantum correlations, or describe
experiments that exploit quantum correlations as a resource for
quantum technology.
Possible topics include, but are in no way limited to:
characterization and measurement of entanglement and quantum discord,
discrimination of classical and quantum correlations in quantum
systems, applications of quantum correlations to quantum technology,
dynamics of quantum correlations in open systems, decoherence,
metrology, error correction.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL of QUANTUM INFORMATION
Quantum Correlations: entanglement and beyond
GUEST EDITORS
Shunlong Luo (Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN)
Sabrina Maniscalco (Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK)
Kavan Modi (National University of Singapore, SG)
G. Massimo Palma (University of Palermo, IT)
Matteo G. A. Paris (University of Milano, IT)
Quantum correlations have been the subject of intensive studies in the
last two decades, mainly due to the general belief that they are
fundamental resources for quantum information processing and other
tasks in quantum technology. The first rigorous attempt to address the
classification of quantum correlations was put forward by Werner, who
formalized the elusive concept of quantum entanglement. More recently,
other quantities, as such quantum discord, have been proposed to
capture different aspects of the quantumness of correlations. In
parallel, several applications where quantum, classical, hybrid
correlations play a role have been suggested and implemented. Among
them we mention quantum imaging, interferometry, state engineering,
computing and entanglement-assisted quantum measurements.
This special issue is aimed to collect papers addressing both
fundamental problems and applications, thus offering to readers
comprehensive and up-to-date overview on the characterization and use
of quantum correlations. We welcome papers that address fundamental
aspects of quantum and classical correlations in discrete and
continuous variable systems, propose implementations to make
quantitative measurements of quantum correlations, or describe
experiments that exploit quantum correlations as a resource for
quantum technology.
Possible topics include, but are in no way limited to:
characterization and measurement of entanglement and quantum discord,
discrimination of classical and quantum correlations in quantum
systems, applications of quantum correlations to quantum technology,
dynamics of quantum correlations in open systems, decoherence,
metrology, error correction.
Manuscripts should be submitted to matteo.paris@fisica.unimi.it with
subject "[QCSPE] and must meet the normal refereeing standards of
IJQI.

The 5th Asia-Pacific Workshop on Quantum Information Science 25-28 May 2011
http://www.ntu.edu.sg/ias/upcomingevents/SSQISC11/Pages/
default.aspx
Jointly Organized by
Institute of Advanced Studies @ NTU Singapore
Department of Physics, NUS
Supported by
Centre for Quantum Technologies
South East Asia Theoretical Physics Association
Institute of Physics, Singapore
Quantum Information Science is one of the most dynamic areas of inter-disciplinary research involving a wide range of scientists ranging from physicists to computer scientists to mathematicians and engineers. The fundamental observation in this field is that any computation is essentially a physical process. The current relentless drive towards increasing speed and miniaturization of computers will eventually lead the computer industry into a subatomic domain where seemingly strange quantum behavior takes over from familiar classical notions. Quantum physics offers an entirely new form of computational parallelism that will make quantum computers more powerful than conventional computers by many orders of magnitude.
The first Asia-Pacific Workshop on Quantum Information Sciences was organized for the first time in Singapore in 2001. Since then, the workshop has been held at various places in Taiwan and China. The workshop hopes to bring together scientists working in various topics of Quantum Information Sciences so that they can exchange ideas and discuss their most recent works in the field.
This workshop is part of an overall effort to develop an interdisciplinary research team in quantum information science with specific emphases on quantum simulation, quantum communication theory and quantum algorithm. This workshop will also be held in conjunction with a Festchrift for Prof Vladimir Korepin.

To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the first successful planetary mission, Mariner 2 sent to Venus, the NASA History Program Office and the Division of Space History at the National Air and Space Museum invite papers for a conference relating to the history of planetary exploration. This historical symposium will be held in Washington, D.C., on 18-20 October 2012.
Entitled “Solar System Exploration @ 50,” the purpose of this symposium is to consider, over the more than fifty year history of the space age, what we have learned about the other bodies of the solar system and the process whereby we have learned it. This symposium seeks to pursue broader questions relating to the history of planetary
exploration such as:
-- The various flight projects and their broader implications for the exploration of other solar system bodies.
-- The development of space science disciplines and institution building.
-- The big questions of planetary science and what has been learned in the fifty years of planetary exploration.
-- The relationships of organizations/international, civil/military, etc., one to another.
-- The uneasy alliance between robotic exploration and human spaceflight.
-- Managing the space science community and setting priorities for missions, instruments, and knowledge generation.
-- The manner in which scientific knowledge has been acquired, refined, analyzed, and disseminated over time.
-- The development of theories about planetary science.
-- The development of instruments and methodologies for scientific exploration.
-- Analysis of the science of solar system origins and evolution.
Possible topics are not restricted to these major themes. All papers are envisioned as scholarly contributions exploring broad thematic issues and questions.
International scholars and graduate students seeking exposure to the history of the planetary sciences are particularly welcome. We intend that a subset of the papers will merit publication.
Proposals for papers should include a title and abstract, as well as the author’s curriculum vita. Please send all proposals, in the form of a 300 word abstract and a brief vita electronically to Dr. William P. Barry, NASA Chief Historian, at bill.barry@nasa.gov,
and Dr. Roger D. Launius, Senior Curator in Space History at the National Air and Space Museum, launiusr@si.edu. The deadline for abstract submissions is 1 February 2012.
