The 12th installment of the "Beyond IID in Information Theory" conference series will take place from July 29-August 2, 2024 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The main subject of the conference is theoretical quantum information science, underpinning future technologies that rely on quantum computers and devices. The conference brings together scientists from both classical and quantum information science with the aim of communicating exciting research trends to the quantum workforce and igniting compelling new research directions. Following the tradition of previous installments, this conference consists of a careful balance of cutting-edge, high-impact research talks and time slots for academic discussions and collaborations. This format has been highly successful as it produced a substantive body of work acknowledging progress achieved during previous Beyond IID conferences. A particular focus of the conference is on support, active engagement, and career development of junior researchers (i.e. graduate students and postdocs) from all backgrounds. Several events aimed at these participants have been planned, including a career panel and poster session helping to train the next generation of quantum scientists and connect them with the larger research community. In addition, having the event at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign highlights the robust and dynamic quantum ecosystem within the state of Illinois, including the on-campus Illinois Quantum Information and Science Center (IQUIST), the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE), and others. Notably, the Chicago Metropolitan Statistical Area was recently chosen as a quantum Regional Technology and Innovation Hub by the US Economic Development Administration. Finally, Beyond IID is the only conference of its size and focus in North America in 2024, providing a unique opportunity for many researchers on this continent to learn about the current results in this field.The scientific content of the Beyond IID conference series covers the information-theoretic and mathematical aspects of quantum information science, and its connections to classical information theory and mathematical physics. Core topics discussed in previous Beyond IID conferences include one-shot and finite-blocklength information theory, quantum Shannon theory, cryptography, generalized resource theories, entropy inequalities and matrix analysis. The conference aims to provide a venue for classical and quantum information theorists to report recent progress, identify open problems, and advance current research in quantum information. The latter two objectives are facilitated by an open problems session, an integral part of the conference that continues to drive research in the above areas. Each day will start with an hour-long invited talk giving a broad overview of selected topics by prominent researchers. This year, two of the invited talks are dedicated to the memory of Christopher King and Mary Beth Ruskai, whose work had an immense impact on quantum information theory. The invited talks are followed by contributed talks on exceptional recent results rigorously selected by a program committee. The full scientific program appears on the conference website https://beyondiid2024.iquist.illinois.edu/.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

“超越信息论中的IID”系列会议的第12期将于2024年7月29日至8月2日在伊利诺伊大学香槟分校举行。会议的主要主题是理论量子信息科学，支持依赖量子计算机和设备的未来技术。该会议汇集了来自经典和量子信息科学的科学家，旨在向量子劳动力传达令人兴奋的研究趋势，并引发引人注目的新研究方向。遵循前几期的传统，本次会议包括尖端，高影响力的研究会谈和学术讨论和合作的时间段的仔细平衡。这种形式非常成功，因为它产生了一个实质性的工作机构，承认在以前的超越IID会议期间取得的进展。会议的一个特别重点是支持，积极参与，以及来自所有背景的初级研究人员（即研究生和博士后）的职业发展。针对这些参与者的几个活动已经计划好了，包括职业小组和海报会议，帮助培训下一代量子科学家，并将他们与更大的研究社区联系起来。此外，在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校举办的活动突出了伊利诺伊州内强大而动态的量子生态系统，包括校园内的伊利诺伊量子信息和科学中心（IQUIST），芝加哥量子交易所（CQE）等。值得注意的是，芝加哥大都会统计区最近被美国经济发展署选为量子区域技术和创新中心。最后，Beyond IID是2024年北美唯一一个规模和重点的会议，为这个大陆的许多研究人员提供了一个独特的机会来了解这个领域的最新成果。Beyond IID会议系列的科学内容涵盖了量子信息科学的信息理论和数学方面，以及它与经典信息理论和数学物理的联系。在以前的超越IID会议上讨论的核心议题包括一次性和有限块长度信息理论，量子香农理论，密码学，广义资源理论，熵不等式和矩阵分析。会议旨在为经典和量子信息理论家提供一个场所，报告最新进展，确定开放问题，并推进量子信息的当前研究。后两个目标是由一个开放的问题会议，会议的一个组成部分，继续推动在上述领域的研究促进。 每一天都将以一小时的特邀演讲开始，由杰出的研究人员对选定的主题进行广泛的概述。今年，两个受邀的会谈是专门为纪念克里斯托弗·金和玛丽贝丝·鲁斯凯，他们的工作对量子信息理论产生了巨大的影响。 受邀演讲之后是由项目委员会严格挑选的关于近期特殊成果的演讲。完整的科学计划出现在会议网站https://beyondiid2024.iquist.illinois.edu/.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
