from Gilles Brassard: Submission server now open for AQIS'13 - Asian Quantum Information Science, Chennai

The 13th Asian Conference on
Quantum Information Science (AQIS'13)
http://www.imsc.res.in/~aqis13

Tutorials: 25 August 2013
Conference: 26-30 August 2013
Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, India

Apologies for cross-postings of this second call for papers.
Please forward to interested colleagues and students.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the EasyChair
submission server is now open for AQIS'13, the 13th Asian Conference on
Quantum Information Science. The submission deadline is coming very soon
(16 June 2013, 23:59, Anywhere on Earth). This will be a strict deadline.

AQIS'13 is a meeting focused on quantum information processing,
communication and cryptography, an interdisciplinary field bridging
quantum physics, computer science, mathematics, and information
technologies. This event, which is the thirteenth in a highly successful
series, building upon EQIS'01-05 and AQIS'06-12, is coming to India for
the first time, having been held previously in Japan, China and Korea.
This is the prime Asian conference in the field.

Organized by the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, AQIS'13 will take place
in Chennai, India, from 25 to 30 August 2013. Details about the conference
are available via the website, which we invite you to visit often as new
information will appear regularly.

- Masahide Sasaki (Nat. Inst. of Information and Communications, Tokyo, Japan)
- Umesh Vazirani (University of California, Berkeley, USA)
*To be confirmed

Contributions are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas:

- Quantum computation, algorithms and complexity
- Quantum information theory
- Quantum decoherence fighting concepts, methods and tools
- Quantum cryptography
- Quantum communications experiments and theory
- Quantum technologies (optics-, NMR- and solid-state, etc.)
- Quantum processor and computer design
- Quantum programming languages and semantics

The submission deadline is 16 June 2013, 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE).
Please pay special attention to the fact (*new* for AQIS) that
all submissions MUST follow the guidelines specified at
http://www.imsc.res.in/~aqis13/submissions.html .
Submissions deviating significantly from these guidelines
*will*be*rejected* without consideration of their merits.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Chennai!
