CONFERENCE: QUANTUM COMPUTATION, QUANTUM INFORMATION, AND THE EXACT SCIENCES
LMU Munich
30 - 31 January 2015
www.qcompinfo2015.philosophie.uni-muenchen.de
*********************************************
We invite submissions from both philosophers and scientists exploring
the connections between the philosophy and foundations of quantum
computation and quantum information theory (QCIT), and more traditional
philosophical and foundational questions in physics, computer science,
information theory, and mathematics. Envisioned topics for contributed
papers include: QCIT's relevance for our understanding of the structure
and axiomatics of quantum theory, QCIT's relevance for our understanding
of physical conceptions of computation and/or information, alternative
formalisms and mathematical frameworks for characterising QCIT,
methodological differences and commonalities between QCIT and more
traditional approaches to the exact sciences, and the metaphysical
significance (or lack thereof) of the concepts and operational
definitions of QCIT. This list is not exhaustive.
DATES OF THE CONFERENCE: January 30-31, 2015.
LOCATION: Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Munich, Germany.

Hans J. Briegel, University of Innsbruck, Austria and the Institute for
