[Cuga] “It from Qubit” Summer School at Perimeter Institute (July 18-29, 2016)- A message from Rob Myers

[Lorelei Chopard]

Dear Colleague,

We would like to bring your attention to the “It from Qubit" Summer 
School taking place at Perimeter Institute from July 18-29, 2016.

In recent years, compelling evidence has emerged that information theory 
provides a powerful way to structure our thinking about quantum gravity 
and quantum field theory. In turn, fundamental physics provides new 
classes of fascinating questions for quantum information theorists to 
address.

In spite of these exciting developments, high energy physics and quantum 
information theory remain distinct disciplines and communities, 
separated by significant barriers to communication and collaboration. 
This school has been organized by the "It from Qubit" Simons Foundation 
Collaboration to promote communication and learning between the two 
research communities.  In particular we strongly encourage applications 
from interested students and junior researchers whose background is 
limited to either of the two fields but who are interested in reaching 
across disciplinary boundaries. The school will include both lectures 
and hands-on tutorials.

Please forward this message to potential participants.

We very much hope to see you at Perimeter this July.
