FP6 STREP QICS

Foundational Structures in Quantum Information and Computation

An EC-FP6-STREP within the Future and Emerging Technologies Open Scheme running from January 1 2007 till June 30 2010. The work delivered is at the bottom of this page. In the application process the QICS proposal ended 2nd out of the 487 submitted proposal for that FET Open round. The total budget of QICS is 1.625 Million Euro. The participating sites are:

University of Oxford - heads of site: Bob Coecke and Samson Abramsky
University of Bristol - head of site: Richard Jozsa
University of York - head of site: Sam Braunstein
CNRS Grenoble - head of site: Philippe Jorrand
Paris 7 - head of site: Vincent Danos
TU Braunschweig - head of site: Reinhard Werner
University of Innsbruck - head of site: Hans Briegel
McGill University - head of site: Prakash Panangaden
QICS overall coordinator: Bob Coecke

Some sites also have subsidiary sites:

Oxford-subs: Glasgow, Sussex, Nottingham, Warwick, UCL. The activity of the Oxford site is entangled with that of the EPSRC network on Semantics of Quantum Computation QNET.
McGill-subs: Dalhousie-Halifax, Ottawa.

All inquiries can be directed to the QICS overall coordinator Bob Coecke or the QICS project administrator Janet Sadler. The following activities are planned:

First QICS workshop, March 15-17, 2007, Oxford
Second QICS workshop, April 5-7, 2008, Grenoble
The main QICS conference was hosted by Hans Briegel in Obergurgl, Austria, September 14-20, 2008
The QICS School took place at Oxford, May 23-28, 2010. Lectures were recorded and the videos are here.

The following researchers are currently, will be, or have been hired on QICS:

OXFORD: Ross Duncan, Jacob Biamonte, Simon Perdrix
BRISTOL: Ashley Montanaro, Michael Bremner
YORK: Peter Hines
GRENOBLE: Jonathan Grattage
PARIS 7: Damian Markham, Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh
BRAUNSCHWEIG: Michael Reimpell, Vincent Nesme
INNSBRUCK: Akimasa Miyake, Jianming Cai
