Welcome

The Summer School on Quantum Information, Computing and Control, QuICC, will be held in Aberystwyth, Wales, on August 27 - September 1, 2012. It is sponsored by Imperial College London's Centre for Doctoral Training on Controlled Quantum Dynamics with funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and its organising committee consists primarily of students from its second and third cohorts, as well as Daniel Burgarth as a local organiser.

We will bring together the leading scientists in the fields of quantum information and its experimental realisations, with a view to giving postgraduate students the chance to further their understanding, as well as enabling scientific networks to develop. Funding will be available for students from universities in the United Kingdom, and we may be able to fund some overseas students (details to be announced shortly).

The application deadline is midnight, Sunday 1 July 2012. We will endeavour to confirm places in the Summer School by mid-July.

Aberystwyth University will also be hosting a workshop on Quantum Probabilistic Symmetries on the days following QuICC. More information can be found on their website.
