Objective

For a constantly evolving field such as quantum information processing, it is important for students to have the opportunity to attend lectures that covers topics ranging from the fundamentals to the cutting edge. The lectures are ideally delivered by a team of lecturers with differing backgrounds. Furthermore, breakthroughs in a new field such as quantum information processing often arise from the exchange of ideas from different fields. Based on these principles, the 2011 summer school will be focused on the interface between quantum information and optical science (quantum electronics).

Requirements

Participants must be able to attend all days of the summer school, be interested in quantum information and optical science (quantum electronics), and be able to present a poster showing the results of their own work.
