U of T Awards Prestigious Quantum Mechanics Prize to Pioneering Physicists

U of T's Centre for Quantum Information and Quantum Control (CQIQC) has announced Michel Devoret and Robert Schoelkopf, both of Yale University, as winners of the prestigious John Stewart Bell Prize for their enormous contributions to the field of quantum mechanics.

Overview

CQIQC-V will be the fifth in the series of biennial conferences jointly organized by the Toronto Centre for Quantum Information & Quantum Control and the Fields Institute, which aim to bring together researchers from a broad set of areas ranging from quantum cryptography and computation to quantum control to quantum foundations to device fabrication, in a setting which encourages discussion and can help stimulate new collaborations and interactions. The 2013 meeting will also be a celebration of the upcoming quinquagenary of Bell’s Inequalities, slightly violating the inequality atop this flyer. There will be roughly 24 invited talks and 24 contributed talks, as well as a poster session. The meeting will also be the occasion of the awarding of the 3rd biennial
John Stewart Bell Prize for Research on Fundamental Issues in Quantum
Mechanics and Their Applications, see http://cqiqc.physics.utoronto.ca/bell_prize/home.html

Poster Session

There will also be at least one poster session, during which we expect to give an opportunity to more young researchers to present work that did not fit into the main schedule, as well as several sessions devoted to focused discussion on a number of topics raised during the meeting. The meeting will involve researchers at all stages of their careers, including participation by graduate students. Accepted posters.
