2012-2013 Quantum Information Seminar
July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, The Fields Institute
      This page is a stub. Please visit the full seminar page here.
The Toronto Quantum Information Seminar is held roughly every two weeks to discuss ongoing work and ideas about quantum computation, cryptography, teleportation, et cetera. We hope to bring together interested parties from a variety of different backgrounds, including math, computer science, physics, chemistry, and engineering, to share ideas as well as open questions.
Talks usually take place on Friday, 11:00 am, unless otherwise indicated in the schedule, at the Fields Institute, Room 210.
See the seminar home page for updates.
