Workshop on QIS in Computer and Natural Sciences, hosted by Joint Quantum Institute, University of Maryland, College Park, MD. September 28-29, 2012

计算机和自然科学中的量子信息科学研讨会由马里兰州大学联合量子研究所的物理前沿中心组织，以帮助计算机和自然科学界了解量子信息科学发展的可能性。这与美国国家科学基金会NSF 12-540 CISE-MPS量子信息科学跨学科教师计划最近的项目征集有关。该研讨会计划有来自美国学术机构的约65名参与者，其中包括15名演讲者。该研讨会的智力价值源于将计算机科学和MPS其他领域的人员与量子信息领域的领先研究人员在有利的环境中联系起来，以促进合作，包括在美国的QI主要中心度过休假。这将有助于实现美国国家科学技术理事会报告《量子信息科学的联邦愿景》。这一活动的更广泛影响包括参与者返回其机构后将对量子信息科学的扩展产生倍增效应。

The workshop on Quantum Information Science in Computer and Natural Sciences is being organized by the Physics Frontier Center at the Joint Quantum Institute of the University of Maryland to help the Computer and Natural Sciences community become aware of the possibilities of developments in Quantum Information Science. This is in connection with the recent program solicitation from the National Science Foundation NSF 12-540 CISE-MPS Interdisciplinary Faculty Program in Quantum Information Science. The workshop plans to have about 65 participants from academic institutions of the United States including 15 speakers.The Intellectual Merit of this workshop stems from the potential to connect people in the computer sciences and other areas of MPS with leading researches in Quantum Information in a favorable environment to foster collaboration, including spending sabbaticals at the QI primary centers in the United States. This will help fulfill the United States National Science and Technology Council report A Federal Vision for Quantum Information Science.Broader Impacts of this activity include the multiplicative effect that the participants, when returning to their institutions, will have for the expansion of Quantum Information Science.
