Thematic Program on Mathematics in Quantum Information
July-August, 2009

July 6-10, 2009
Workshop on Operator Structures in Quantum Information

Organizing Committee:
Patrick Hayden (McGill)
Marius Junge (Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
David Kribs (Guelph)
Debbie Leung (Waterloo)
Mary Beth Ruskai (Tufts)
Andreas Winter (Bristol & Singapore)

In order to have a workshop format with ample time for discussions, all talks will be invited, but suggestions for speakers are welcome. It is neither necessary nor desirable that all participants give a formal talk. All participants can submit a poster and every presenter of a poster will have an opportunity to give a 5 minute presentation to let people know who they are and what they are working on. These will take place early in the workshop before the reception or breaks. A few poster submissions may be selected, at the option of the organizers for 20 minute talks on recent developments.
Abstracts Submission for Contributed Talk/Poster (deadline to submit was June 28)
