            OVERVIEW 
            The Canadian Quantum Information Summer School has become an annual 
              Canadian tradition. The School is designed for graduate students, 
              post-docs and researchers in mathematics, physics or computer science 
              who are interested in learning about quantum information. Over five 
              intense days, students will be introduced to the exciting and growing 
              field of quantum information science by participating in seminars 
              led by experts in the field. This year, participants will have the 
              opportunity to learn about ground-breaking research in emerging 
              areas of quantum information, as well as the basics of established 
              areas. A list of topics to be covered follows below.  
            * quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution (N. Lutkenhaus) 
              * quantum algorithms (M. Mosca) 
              * quantum error correction (D. Gottesman) 
              * fault tolerant quantum computation (P. Aliferis) 
              * quantum control (D. Lidar) 
              * quantum computational complexity (J. Watrous) 
              * implementations (J. Baugh, B. Sanders) 
              * quantum information theory (J. Yard) 
              * quantum many-body problems and quantum information (G. Vidal)
