Dates

3-8 September 2005

Location

Hotel Villa del Mare, Acquafredda di Maratea, Italy
The conference will be held at Hotel Villa del Mare in Acquafredda di Maratea. Acquafredda di Maratea is situated on the coast, on the Gulf of Policastro, between Sapri and Maratea, about 200 km (125 miles) south of Naples and about 400 km (250 miles) south of Rome. Group transportation will be organised on arrival and departure days from and back to Sapri train station.

Final Programme & List of Accepted Participants

In the last few years quantum information has been central in the research activities of  many scientists coming from various areas of physics, mathematics and computer science as it is known to be more efficient than its classical counterpart. The quest for large scale integrability has stimulated an increasing interest in the field of solid state physics. Nanoelectronics seems the natural arena to realize physical implementation of quantum hardware. Qubits made out of solid-state devices (spins/charges in quantum dots or superconducting nano-circuits), may offer a great advantage in this respect because fabrication techniques allow for scalability to a large number of coupled qubits. Recent experimental breakthroughs in semi-conducting and super-conducting nanostructures constitute the first important step towards the realization of a solid-state quantum computer.
The aim of this Conference is to bring together world experts on two of the major issues in the field of Solid State Quantum Information: the study of entanglement and the role of decoherence in nanoelectronic devices.

Group Transportation & Practical Information Guide

  • All major trains arriving in Sapri from Rome/Naples will be met by bus to transfer you the 8 kms to the hotel. This transfer service will operate free of charge from 15.00 hours until 22.45 hours on Saturday 3 September.

  • Group transportation back to Sapri station will be arranged in a similar way on Thursday, 8 September.

With Support from

We wish to thank the following for their contribution to the success of this conference:

  • The Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, a university center for teaching and research, is based on a model which shaped European educational history. Founded by Napoleon in 1810 as a branch of the Ecole Normale Superieure Paris, it has been educating students and carrying out research for nearly two centuries. These activities make it a point of reference at both the national and international levels.
  • ONRG (Office of Naval Research Global): ONR Global, as an international presence for ONR, actively seeks opportunities to promote science and technology collaboration of mutual benefit between the US and researchers around the globe.
