Workshop on Quantum Metrology, Interaction, and Causal Structure
December 9-13, 2013, Room 1-315, FIT Building, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China
The Workshop
Quantum Information Theory is one of the most fascinating areas of contemporary physics, offering a privileged angle on the foundations of quantum mechanics and, at the same time, holding the promise of a new information technology. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers who share a common interest in fundamental aspects of quantum information, and, specifically, in the ultimate limits for the extraction of information and in the interface between optimal information processing and causal structure.
The workshop aims at generating new collaborations and at promoting the exchange of ideas across different areas of quantum information, favouring the participation of researchers with different backgrounds across physics (both theoretical and experimental) and computer science.

Location
Location
Workshop on Quantum Metrology, Interaction, and Causal Structure will take place at Room 1-315, FIT Building, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
Future Internet Technology Research Center (FIT building) occupies an area of 30,000 sq. m. and is equipped with high-tech facilities necessary for successful completion of the conference. It also enjoys a favorable location, besides the main gate of Tsinghua University.
Tsinghua University is one of the top universities in China, enjoying a history of 100 years and endowed with a strong engineering tradition. The campus of Tsinghua University is situated on several former royal gardens of the Qing Dynasty, surrounded by a few historical sites in northwest Beijing. The garden-like landscape, with the Wanquan River meandering through, has inspired and motivated generations of students.
Having been the capital of China for over 800 years, Beijing is a city with rich cultural heritage and has retained lots of the color of traditional Chinese life. At the same time, it is also booming modern metropolis, and much of this can be seem amid its new construction. Beijing has many places of historical interest and scenic beauty, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace etc.
