ERATO conference on


Quantum Information Science 2004 (EQIS'04)


September 1-5, 2004, Hitotsubashi Memorial Hall, Tokyo, Japan

Organized by ERATO Quantum Computation and Information Project
in cooperation with NII (National Institute Informatics)

General

The EQIS meetings are to focus on quantum information science and technology, a new interdisciplinary field bridging computer science, quantum physics, mathematics, information theory, statistics, optics- and nano-technologies. EQIS'04 will be the fourth conference in a series and is to concentrate on theoretical and also experimental aspects of quantum information science.

Contributions for short communications and posters will be solicited in the research areas related to quantum information science, including, but not limited to:

• quantum computation, quantum algorithms,
• quantum complexity theory, quantum computing and automata models,
• quantum computer simulators, quantum information theory,
• quantum cryptography, quantum entanglement,
• additivity/nonadditivity results,
• teleportation and entanglement-assisted communication,
• quantum error correction, decoherence, quantum estimation theory,
• quantum optics, NMR and solid state technologies.
