Information processing devices are pervasive in our society; from the 5
dollar watches to multi-billions satellite network. These devices have
allowed the information revolution which is developing around us. It has
transformed not only the way we communicate or entertain ourselves but
also the way we do science and even the way we think. All this
information is manipulated using the classical approximation to the laws
of physics, but we know that there is a better approximation: the
quantum mechanical laws. Would using quantum mechanics for information
processing be an impediment or could it be an advantage? This is the
fundamental question at the heart of quantum information processing
(QIP). QIP is a young field with an incredible potential impact reaching
from the way we understand fundamental physics to technological
applications. I will give an overview of the Institute for Quantum
Computing, comment on the effort in this field at Waterloo and in
Canada and, time permitted visit some of the IQC labs.

through the systems committee mailing list (we will require that your API
is made available to all entrants).

To kick off the contest we're hosting an in-house coding session starting
at 4:00PM on Thursday, February 14th in MC2061. Members of our contest
administration team will be available to help you work out the details of
our APIs, answer questions, and provide the necessities of life (ie,
pizza). Submissions will open no later than 5:00PM on February 14th
and will close no earlier than 12:00PM on February 17th.
