REQUEST FOR NOMINATIONS FOR
THE 2019 JOHN STEWART BELL PRIZE
FOR RESEARCH ON FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES IN QUANTUM MECHANICS AND THEIR
APPLICATIONS:
Dear friends and colleagues:
We are pleased to announce the 2019 John Stewart Bell Prize, and ask for
your assistance in identifying deserving candidates for the award.
The John Stewart Bell Prize for Research on Fundamental Issues in Quantum
Mechanics and their Applications (short form: "Bell Prize") is awarded
every other year, in particular again in 2019, for significant
contributions first published in the 6 years preceding January 1st of the
award year. The award is meant to recognize major advances relating to the
foundations of quantum mechanics and to the applications of these
principles – this covers, but is not limited to, quantum information
theory, quantum computation, quantum foundations, quantum cryptography, and
quantum control. The award is not intended as a "lifetime achievement"
award, but rather to highlight the continuing rapid pace of research in
these areas. It is intended to cover even-handedly theoretical and
experimental research, both fundamental and applied. Further information
about the Bell Prize may be found at
http://cqiqc.physics.utoronto.ca/bell_prize/home.html
The award is funded and managed by the University of Toronto, Centre for
Quantum Information and Quantum Control (CQIQC), but the award selection
will be handled by an arms-length selection committee. The award will be
presented as part of the biennial CQIQC conference, during which the
awardee will be invited to deliver a prize lecture. (The meeting
will run at the end of August, 2019 at the Fields Institute, University of
Toronto. The conference web page is under development, but the previous
conference programme can be viewed at
http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/activities/17-18/CQIQCVII )
To nominate a candidate for this award, please email your nomination to
Helen Iyer, CQIQC administrative assistant, at iyer(a)physics.utoronto.ca
<aho(a)chem.utoronto.ca>ca>. The nomination should include the name
and affiliation of the nominee, a 1-2 paragraph statement of the importance
of the contribution on the basis of which you are making the nomination and
the principal literature citations to this work (which must have been
published between January 2013 and December 2018). Self-nomination is
prohibited.
All nominations received by January 25, 2019 will be considered (although
the committee will not be bound to restrict itself to these nominations).
Thank you in advance for your assistance,
Aephraim Steinberg, on behalf of the Bell Prize Selection Committee
