Workshop on Quantum Information Processing and Nanoscale Systems, Washington, DC; Sept 10-11,2007.

量子信息的未来取决于量子算法和能够实现这些算法的材料系统的进展。这两个领域应密切合作发展。拟议讲习班的目标是将这些领域的主要专家聚集在一起，讨论未来的方向和加强从事量子算法和纳米系统工作的科学家之间合作的方式。该研讨会应有助于塑造，重点，并可能扩大在NSF量子信息处理的跨学科计划。研讨会为期两天。该计划将包括由受邀演讲者的演讲？量子算法、凝聚态理论和实验方面的专家。这些演讲之后将是目前由EMT计划支持的科学家的演讲。随后将进行小组讨论，目的是制定一个关于量子信息处理和纳米级系统的广泛研究计划。

The future of quantum information depends on the progress in quantum algorithms and material systems capable of implementing these algorithms. The two areas should develop in close cooperation. The goal of the proposed workshop is to bring together leading experts in these areas in order to discuss the future directions and the ways of strengthening collaboration between scientists working on quantum algorithms and nanosystems. The workshop should help to shape, focus, and potentially expand the interdisciplinary program on quantum information processing at the NSF. The workshop will last for two days. The program will include presentations by the invited speakers ? the experts on quantum algorithms and condensed matter theory and experiment. These presentations will be followed by the presentations of the scientists currently supported by the EMT program. A panel discussion will follow with the objective of formulating a broad program of research on quantum information processing and nanoscale systems.
