IISSQI 2008

The International Iran Summer School on Quantum Information 2008 (IISSQI-08) provided introductory, tutorial-style presentations on the theory, implementations, and applications of quantum information by leading international researchers from the disciplines of physics, computer science, and mathematics. The summer school took place over two weeks and included poster sessions for participants to present their own work. The topics of the summer school include:

• Computational models
• Entanglement
• Implementations of quantum information
• Many body systems
• Mathematical methods for quantum information
• Quantum channels
• Quantum cryptography
• Quantum error correction
• Quantum information with atoms and photons
• Quantum simulation
• Relativity and quantum information
• Topological quantum computation

There was 3 hours of lecture and 1.5 hour of tutorial per day in each of the two weeks of the summer school. In addition, a few hours each week were allocated for research talks by presenters and participants of the summer school.
