As a part of the activities of the Centre for Quantum Sciences of The Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), we are planning to organize a two-weeks long national level workshop on Quantum Information Science (QIS), to be held at IMSc from 22 Nov. to 4 Dec., 2010. Our aim is to have self-contained Courses of Lectures on a few important topics in QIS, which have not been covered in much detail in the schools/workshops held in recent times. We do hope that junior researchers as well as people interested in QIS will benefit much through active participation in this workshop so that they can enter firmly into the present-day developments in these topics.

We are planning to have four one-and-half hour long lectures (including few tutorials/discussion sessions) on each day from Monday through Saturday, during the entire workshop (except on 28th Nov., 2010). We are trying to make the lectures on each topic to be pedagogical but at the same time, they should contain at least some important materials about the present-day research activities on that topic, so that, after successfully attending the workshop, at least some of the participants can feel confident in pursuing research works in that (or, related) topic.

Tentative list of topics to be discussed:

Structure of state space in quantum theory, positive & completely positive maps and their roles, properties of quantum channels, phase-space and quasiprobability methods, entanglement in Gaussian states, Gaussian channels and their characterization, connexion between nonclassicality & entanglement, non-locality and entanglement properties in finite dimensional quantum systems, quantum informational aspects of many-body systems with particular emphasis on Kitaev's model.

List of Speakers:

  • Subhash Chaturvedi,(Univ. of Hyderabad)
  • Guruprasad Kar, (ISI, Kolkata)
  • N. Mukunda(IISc)
  • R. Shankar (IMSc)
  • J. Solomon Ivan (RRI)
  • Anil Shaji *(IISER, Trivandrum)
  • Sibasish Ghosh (IMSc)
  • R. Simon  (IMSc)
