The Quantum and Complexity Science Initiative organise a number of workshops and events related to quantum and complexity science.
Quantum Resources: from mathematical foundations to operational characterisation
Preliminary dates November 30th – December 3rd 2020, Singapore. Please watch website for covid19 updates.
We are co-organizing this event in tandem with the conference's main organizer Bartosz Regula
Various properties of quantum systems are starting to find use in the development of practical quantum technologies, elevating phenomena such as entanglement and coherence from mathematical curiosities to physical resources. The framework of quantum resource theories aims to understand these features in a unified fashion and establish methods to characterise them effectively. The workshop Quantum resources: from mathematical foundations to operational characterisation is concerned with the theoretical investigation of quantum resources, and in particular on bridging the gap between the abstract mathematical description of resource theories and the protocols for their practical exploitation.
Workshop on Agency at the Interface of Quantum and Complexity Science
January 13th – 16th, 2020, Singapore
Co-organized with Thomas Elliott
Agency is at the forefront of modern technologies. Both engineered and natural systems respond to stimuli from their environment, displaying complex adaptive behavior that depends both on the current environmental input stimuli and the transcript of their past encounters. Such agents process information from their environment, outputting the outcomes of this computation as actions -- this makes information theory a powerful tool to characterize and understand their behavior.
Workshop on the Interdisciplinary Frontiers of Quantum and Complexity Science
January 8th – 12th, 2017, Singapore
On the outset, complexity and quantum science appear quite different. One commonly deals with networks of interacting systems on the macroscopic scale, while the describes matter at the quantum mechanical level. Yet both fields seek to understand nature by studying how it fundamentally processes information. The interdisciplinary frontiers of quantum and complexity science workshop (IfQuCS) aims to explore this connection.
Information Processing in Complex Systems: Classical and Quantum
September 20th, 2016, Amsterdam
The Information Processing in Complex Systems meeting is organised as a satellite meeting as part of the Conference on Complex Systems . The objective is to provide a forum for researchers who follow an information-theoretic approach to complex systems. In 2016, the satellite workshop collaborated with QuCSI to feature quantum information as a sub-focus for the first.
