International Workshop on Theoretical Aspects of the Discrete Time Quantum Walk



November 7-10, 2011

Instituto de Fisica Corpuscular, Valencia, Spain



Aim

What are probability and stochastic processes in Quantum Mechanics? To study the foundations of stochastic processes in Quantum Mechanics, the discrete time quantum walk (DTQW), which is the quantum analogue of the classical random walk, may be useful. This has recently been a hot research field, especially in quantum information science, and has been experimentally realized.  While this workshop is mainly focused on the theoretical side of the DTQW, we also welcome experimentalists. The organizers strongly encourage young researchers to actively join us to this workshop.

Workshop Scopes

Submission

If you are interested in an oral presentation, please send your abstract by September 1st, 2011. Abstract template is here based on the REVTex4.1. Abstract can not be more than 2 pages long.

Please send your abstract either to Yutaka Shikano (shikano-at-th.phys.titech.ac.jp)) or to Armando Perez (armando.perez-at-uv.es) by e-mail (you have to replace -at- by @).



Registration

To register please send an e-mail to Yutaka Shikano (shikano-at-th.phys.titech.ac.jp)) or to Armando Perez (armando.perez-at-uv.es) by e-mail (you have to replace -at- by @). While the speakers of this workshop are theoreticians, we also welcome experimentalists and interested reaserchers about DTQW.
Due to our budget limitation, the final number of participants will be restricted to 30 people.

 Proceedings

  The proceedings of the workshop will be published on an special issue of the Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience. Further information can be found here.
