Workshop on Trapped Ion Quantum Computing
February 22 - 24, 2006 (Tutorial Session: February 21, afternoon)NIST is hosting a follow-on workshop to the one hosted by Chris Monroe and his colleagues at the University of Michigan, May 13-15, 2004. This workshop is being primarily supported by DTO (The Disruptive Technology Office), which currently funds several efforts in quantum information processing including ones based on trapped ions. The format will be very similar to the Michigan workshop; however, since ion trappers as a group are now faced with fabricating more complicated trap apparatus and desire to have other technologies developed to support these more complicated traps, we will encourage attendance by professional fabricators and system integrators who may be able help us with this task.
The main workshop will be held February 22, 23, and the morning of the 24th, 2006, at NIST in Boulder, CO. An introductory/tutorial session on quantum computing and ion trap quantum information processing will be held on the afternoon of February 21, the day preceding the meeting, for those who may not be aware of the broader issues and basic elements of quantum computing using ions.
In addition to invited speakers, we encourage poster contributions from participants. If you wish to make a poster presentation, please submit a one-page abstract to Dietrich Leibfried (dil@boulder.nist.gov) by February 13, 2006. For those posters accepted, abstracts will be reproduced as received and distributed to attendees.
Registration Information
A registration fee of $225 is required of all registrants. Depending on meeting support and the needs of registrants, we will make all efforts to give at least partial travel/lodging/registration support to speakers and other attendees. For those requiring support please direct your inquiries to the conference secretary, Eyvon Petty (pettye@boulder.nist.gov).
Online registration is closed. Please note that the registration deadline was February 10, 2006. There will be no on-site registration. (This is necessitated by NIST security requirements.)
