Dear All,

— Two important points are outlined in the following —

1. Organization of the 4^th Colloquium of the GDR - IQFA

We are pleased to announce
the organization of the 4^th Colloquium of the GDR - IQFA that will take place in Paris.

 In collaboration with the National Center for Theoretical Sciences (South) of Taiwan

 The objective of the colloquium is to gather all the various communities working in Quantum Information, and to permit, along 3 days, to exchange on both the foundations of, and recent advances in, the field.

 The colloquium will be organized along 4 communication modes:

• tutorial talks, having clear pedagogical purpose, on the very foundations and most advanced applications of the field;
• invited talks on the current hot topics within the strategic thematics (ARTs) identified by the GDR - IQFA. This year, the Scientific Committee (see below) calls for poster contributions only. Among all the received poster contributions, the Committee will select a tens of them to be upgraded as oral/invited contributions;
• poster sessions to give the youngest the opportunity to present their work to the entire community, again within the strategic thematics (ARTs) identified by the GDR - IQFA;
• a round table, at the end of the colloquium, will permit the various participants, speakers, and board of the GDR, exchanging views on the future actions to be carried out in the quantum information community.

 Confirmed tutorial speakers are :

• Prof. Alain Aspect (Institut d’Optique Graduate School),
• Prof. Nicolas Gisin (University of Geneva),
• Prof. Philippe Grangier (Institut d’Optique Graduate School),
• Prof. John Martinis (University of California at Santa Barbara),
• Prof. Jean-Michel Raimond (LKB, Université Pierre & Marie Curie - Paris 6),
• Prof. Peter Zoller (Universität Innsbruck).
