Dear colleague,

the Cooperative Research Center (SFB) 631 of the German Science
Foundation, which is a joint research effort on solid state based
quantum information processing of several research institutions in the
greater Munich area (see http://www.wmi.badw-muenchen.de/SFB631/)
is organizing an international workshop on 

            Solid State Based Quantum Information Processing

at Herrsching close to Munich from September 13 to 17, 2004.

The aim of the workshop is to promote an international discussion of the
progress in solid state based quantum information processing including
hardware concepts, theoretical foundations of solid state based qubits
as well as quantum information theory.

The format will be a two-day summer school (Tues. to Wed.) with 8 to 10 two-hour
tutorials given by internationally leading scientists and a two-day
workshop (Thurs. to Fri.) with invited and contributed talks as well as
poster sessions. The afternoon schedule of the workshop will be relaxed
to provide time for informal discussions. 
 
For more information about the workshop, tentative list
of invited speakers, deadlines etc., please check the attached
flyer/poster and the workshop webpage

Please feel free to forward this message and the attached flyer/poster to
interested colleagues.


With best regards,

The members of SFB 631
