The Workshop is divided into seven sessions covering the following topics

1. Hot Topics
2. Algorithms & Generic Theory
3. Generic Theory - Qubit implementations & manipulation (experiment & theory)
4. Atoms and Ions
5. Quantum LANs, Photons and Communication
6. Solid State
7. Condensed Matter & Photonics

The order is to be arranged: each session 2-7 will include two invited talks and three contributed talks.

Invited Participants:

Vladimir Buzek, Artur Ekert, Philippe Grangier, Richard Jozsa, Leo Kouwenhoven, Daniel Lidar, David Lucas, Mikhail Lukin, Chiara Macchiavello, John Martinis, Chris Monroe, Mike Pepper, Andrew Shields, Andrew Steane, Jason Twamley, Umesh Vazirani, Goeran Wendin, Carl Williams, Anton Zeilinger.

Workshop format:

The purpose of the workshop is to promote interaction across the broad subject area of QIPC. All session chairs are therefore invited to begin with a short introductory review of their session's area (15 minutes), putting into context the session contributions within the wider arena of QIPC, and to finish with a 15 minute discussion on all aspects of the session.

All invited speakers (25 + 5 minutes per talk) and contributed speakers (15 + 5 minutes per talk) are encouraged to make their talks generally accessible to a wide multi-disciplinary QIPC audience, which will include both theorists and experimentalists.

Hot Topics/Poster contributions to the workshop will be encouraged,particularly from the EC-funded QIPC research projects. Short presentations (provisionally 12 + 3 minutes per talk) will be selected from these submissions (deadline 13 June 2003) for the Hot Topics session. Posters can be displayed throughout the workshop and there will be dedicated Poster Sessions on the Monday and Wednesday.

Workshop participants (speakers, contributors, attendees...) who are members of an EC-funded QIPC research project should charge their attendance to their project; QUIPROCONE will cover the attendance of other invitees (return economy fare and accommodation) and the central costs of the workshop.
