General Information
Quantum computation, quantum communication,
and quantum cryptography are subfields of
quantum information processing, which is a new
interdisciplinary field of information science and
quantum mechanics. TQC 2012 focuses on
theoretical aspects of the subfields. The
objective of the workshop is to bring together
researchers in the subfields so that they can
interact with each other and share problems
and recent discoveries. The workshop will be
held from May 17 to May 19, 2012. It will
consist of invited talks, contributed talks and a poster session.
As for previous TQC conferences,
a post-conference proceedings volume will be published in
Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science
to which selected speakers will be invited to contribute.
Date: May 17 (Thur.) - May 19 (Sat.), 2012
Place: Koshiba Hall, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
