Dear HQI Community, Please see below for a new meeting series that might be of interest. From: "Cotler, Jordan Saul" <jcotler(a)fas.harvard.edu> Dear all, This week will be the first "Harvard Quantum Information Group Meeting", which will be held on Thursday, September 29th at 4:30 pm in Jefferson 250. The meeting is open to everyone at Harvard interested in quantum information, including those in condensed matter physics, AMO physics, high energy physics, computer science, chemistry, etc. The format includes weekly tutorials (by both external and internal speakers) of contemporary topics in quantum information and quantum computing, aimed for a broad scientific audience. We will also try to foster connections between different groups at Harvard which are interested in or involved with quantum information, and build a broader community. This week, I will give a brief, panoramic overview of quantum information and quantum computation, and preview topics that will be discussed over the semester. I will be followed by our first speaker, Thomas Schuster from Berkeley, who will talk on "Many-body quantum teleportation via quantum information dynamics". Hope to see you all there. If you would like to join the mailing list for this meeting, please e-mail harvardqimeeting(a)gmail.com which will add you.
