Project Summary"Foundations of Quantum Information and Entanglement"STS Conference and Workshop ProposalRecently there has emerged a new and rapidly growing interdisciplinary field ofresearch in science and engineering known as "quantum information science" (QIS). The field of QIS is unified by two related sets of goals: First, the possibility of using the principles and laws of quantum mechanics to improve the acquisition, transmission, and processing of information; and second, to use the development of these new technologies to clarify fundamental concepts and deepen the understanding of foundational issues in quantum physics and computation. This proposal seeks support for a two-day international conference to bring together quantum information scientists and science and technology studies (STS) scholars to discuss the latest developments and foundational issues in this emerging field.Intellectual Merits The intellectual merits of this conference lie both in the novel concepts it will explore and in the potential this conference has to significantly advance research and understanding both within-and across-the fields of QIS and STS. The conference will be held March 24th and March 25th of 2006, at Boston University. There will be four sessions at the conference organized around the following themes: 1. "Quantum Entanglement: History and Foundations," 2. "Quantum Computing and the Nature of Information," 3. "Quantum Cryptography and Information Security," and 4. "Entanglement: From Philosophy to Technology." Each session will be comprised of roughly an equal number of speakers from both the QIS and STS communities, to ensure maximum interaction among these groups. The speakers, who have already conditionally accepted the invitation to participate in this conference, include not only some the world's top researchers in these fields, but also several up-and-coming junior scholars whose education and research stands to benefit greatly from this opportunity. Broader ImpactsThe conference, which will be free and open to the public, will not only make this exciting area of research accessible to a wider audience, but will also help establish a new area of scholarship at the intersection of QIS and STS, by opening up a dialogue between these two diverse groups of researchers. The conference will enhance education at many levels: career training of junior scholars; education of graduate students, postdoctoral students; and other faculty who can consider incorporating material from the conference in their own courses.

项目摘要“量子信息和纠缠的基础“STS会议和研讨会提案最近出现了一个新的和迅速发展的跨学科领域的研究在科学和工程被称为“量子信息科学”（QIS）。QIS领域由两组相关的目标统一起来：第一，使用量子力学的原理和定律来改善信息的获取，传输和处理的可能性;第二，利用这些新技术的发展来澄清基本概念，加深对量子物理和计算中基础问题的理解。这项提议寻求支持一个为期两天的国际会议，汇集量子信息科学家和科学技术研究（STS）学者，讨论这一新兴领域的最新发展和基础问题。智力价值这次会议的智力价值在于它将探索的新概念和潜力，这次会议必须显着推进研究和理解内-以及QIS和STS的交叉领域。会议将于2006年3月24日至25日在波士顿大学举行。会议将围绕以下主题举行四场会议：1.“量子纠缠：历史和基础，”2。“量子计算和信息的本质”，3。“量子密码学和信息安全”，和4。纠缠：从哲学到技术。“每一次会议将由来自QIS和STS社区的大约相等数量的发言者组成，以确保这些群体之间的最大互动。发言者已经有条件地接受了参加这次会议的邀请，其中不仅包括这些领域的一些世界顶级研究人员，还包括一些崭露头角的年轻学者，他们的教育和研究将从这次机会中受益匪浅。更广泛的影响会议，这将是免费的，向公众开放，不仅使这一令人兴奋的研究领域向更广泛的受众开放，而且还将有助于建立一个新的学术领域在QIS和STS的交叉点，通过开放这两个不同的研究人员群体之间的对话。 该会议将在许多层面上加强教育：初级学者的职业培训;研究生，博士后学生的教育;以及其他可以考虑将会议材料纳入自己课程的教师。
