PEN (formerly PESC) Strategic Workshop on "Signatures Of Quantumness in Complex Systems"

Organised under the umbrella of the ESF Exploratory Workshops Scheme

Dates and Venue

Dates: 30 June - 3 July 2011

Venue: Nottingham, United Kingdom

Keywords

Quantum information processing; non-classical correlations; entanglement and non-locality; macroscopic quantum effects; complex quantum dynamics

Summary

This workshop establishes an all-European platform to explore topics of  fundamental and potentially technological importance at the heart of quantum mechanics and its interplay with informatics, biology, condensed matter and relativity. Topics include quantum discord and non-classical correlations beyond entanglement, non-locality and fundamental tests of quantum theory, quantum effects in macroscopic and living systems. Contributions from theory to experiment and interactive, strategic discussions will lay grounds for a coordinated European action, striving at exploring the deepest foundational and practical implications and the most genuine signatures of quantumness in complex systems.
