University of Notre Dame, August 7-9, 2003


Welcome to the Home Page for the

IWQDQC Conference


The Second International Workshop on Quantum Dots for Quantum Computing and Classical Size Effect Circuits (IWQDQC-2) will be held on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, August 7-9, 2003. The workshop will cover all aspects of solid-state implementations for quantum computing and quantum dots for fault-tolerant applications.

The workshop is intended to be an international forum for discussions on the current trends and future directions of research in quantum dots and solid-state implementations for quantum computing. Active participation of graduate students, including student poster papers, is strongly encouraged.

Major topics will include:
• Solid-state implementations for quantum computing,
• Quantum-dots for fault-tolerant circuits and architectures,
•Advances in quantum-dot fabrication and characterization,
• Optical implementations for quantum computing.

These topics will serve to define different sessions with invited speakers for each. To maintain a workshop environment, tutorial presentations will also be organized to appeal to new students in the field as well as to practitioners.

Student Support: Approximately 15 student stipends of $1,000 each will be given to help support their participation in the workshop. The availability of such student support will be advertised and information given on how to apply for this support. The most important criterion for support will be having an accepted paper at the workshop. After that, the organizing committee will select among eligible applicants based on the quality of the work and the perceived financial need of the student.

Dissemination of Results: The main venue for dissemination of the workshop results will be through published proceedings. Negotiations are underway with the new IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology to publish the IWQDQC Proceedings as a Special Issue. In addition to the workshop participants, copies of the proceedings will be made available to other individuals or libraries/institutions who will request it.
