==== III Quantum Information School and Workshop - Paraty ==== {{:news:paraty2011.png?96x60 }}In the last two weeks, several members of our group attended the [[http://www.paratyquantum.info/|III Quantum Information School and Workshop]] held in the city of Paraty, Rio de Janeiro state. Three professors and four students presented their work in the form of talks or posters:\\ \\ **Talks:** * "//Quantum information processing with optical vortices//" by [[http://infoptics.if.uff.br/doku.php?id=people:zelaquett|Antonio Zelaquett Khoury]]. * "//Random quantum circuits with locally invariant gates//" by [[http://infoptics.if.uff.br/doku.php?id=people:daniel|Daniel Jonathan]]. * "//No-locality and Quantum Phase Transitions in the XXZ model"// by [[http://infoptics.if.uff.br/doku.php?id=people:tro|Thiago R. Oliveira]]. \\ **Posters:** * "//Extending matchgates into universal quantum computation//" by [[http://infoptics.if.uff.br/doku.php?id=people:danielbrod|Daniel Jost Brod]]. * "//Translating measurement-based quantum computation into compact quantum circuits//" by [[http://posgrad.if.uff.br/raphaeldias/doku.php|Raphael dias da Silva]]. * "//Entanglement dynamics via geometric phases in quantum spin chains //" by [[http://infoptics.if.uff.br/doku.php?id=people:cleidson|Cleidson Santos de Castro]]. * "//Bell inequalities and entanglement in the XXZ model//" by [[http://infoptics.if.uff.br/doku.php?id=people:pereira|Leonardo J. Pereira]]. \\ [[http://infoptics.if.uff.br/doku.php?id=people:ernesto| Ernesto F. Galvão]] also gave a public talk (in portuguese) entitled "O que é computação quântica?". {{tag>}} ~~LINKBACK~~ ~~DISCUSSION~~
