INTRODUCTION
Expository Quantum Lecture Series (EQuaLS) is a series of lectures conducted by members of Laboratory of Computational Sciences & Informatics, Institute for Mathematical Research and Physics Department, Faculty of Science. The lecture series is formerly known as TSL Expository Lecture Series (TSLELS); see e.g. TSLELS3, TSLELS4, and TSLELS5. The main objective of this lecture series is to rapidly introduce and update researchers and students with the latest developments and techniques in quantum science and technology or related areas,
The first series of EQuaLS was conducted last year with the theme "Geometry, Number Theory & Quantum Physics 2007" (see webpage of EQuaLS1). This year's lecture series will be on "Foundations of Quantum Science & Technology 2008". Despite that quantum physics has played a remarkable role in the advancement of many areas of frontier science and technology, its foundations remained an active area of research and spurred new areas like quantum information that transgress traditional boundaries of physics, mathematics and computer science. In this lecture series, speakers of international repute will give quick expositions of topics of current interest in the foundations of quantum science and technology.
