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 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 began in 2007 with the theme "Geometry, Number Theory and Quantum Physics 2007" (see webpage of EQuaLS1). This is followed by "Foundations of Quantum Science & Technology 2008" (see webpage of EQuaLS2) in 2008. This year's theme will be "Quantum Information Science 2009". It is well-known that quantum physics has radically change the way we look at the physical world. Many new discoveries are based on quantum physics but it was only relatively recent that quantum physics is known to change the way we look at information. Today, the area of quantum information has now become a hotly pursued area by many research groups all around the world, transgressing boundaries of traditional physics, mathematics and computer/information science. This year's lecture series hopes to give a glimpse of (parts of) quantum information science. Speakers of international repute will give quick expositions of topics of current interest in quantum information.

"Limited places are open for contributed talks and posters for interested participants by writing to the secretariat"

The lecture series is supported by Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovations, Malaysia; ICT Impulse Program of the Brussels Capital Region (Project Cryptasc); and Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore.
