Quantum Information Processing and NMR

As the second millennium AD is drawing to a close, it is becoming very clear just how unique the last century was in the rate of scientific and consequently technological progress. Quantum theory and relativity resulted in momentous advances--such as nuclear fission and fusion--which have dramatically altered the way we communicate, conduct business, earn our living, and resolve conflicts. But perhaps the most important revolution has had to do with information processing, and has originated with the celebrated paper of Alan Turing.

Present day classical computers advance at a rapid pace toward the quantum barrier defined by the laws of quantum physics, which are in turn reflected in the present day hardware. Quantum computation is an attempt to short-circuit that asymptotic process, and to exploit quantum laws laws to advantage instead of regarding them as constraints.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is at the forefront of the experimental investigation of possible devices capable of quantum information processing. This conference aims to bring together leaders of the NMR and Quantum Information fields.

The conference will be held at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center fro Astrophysics (60 Garden Street, Cambridge, USA) from February 22-24th, 1999.
