Acabamos de recibir un correo informándonos de que en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid acogerá el "Summer School2011" que este año tiene por nombre:  "2011Quantum Information meets Statistical Mechanics". Adjunto el correo que nos ha llegado de la RSEF: 

Dear Colleague,

from 11th to 15th of July 2011, the Universidad Complutense of Madrid
(Spain), will host a Summer School on "Quantum Information meets
StatisticalMechanics", with the aim of exploring interfaces and emerging
connections between these and related fields.

For more information, please visit our website:

(http://www.euroforum.es/), a nice and historic city about 50 km to the
north of Madrid. See further information below and in the website.

The whole activity will focus primarily on the following topics:

1. One-Way Quantum Computation and Statistical Mechanics

2. Topological Codes and Statistical Models

3. Random Statistical Mechanical Systems and Lattice Gauge Theories

4. Quantum Information and Models of Discrete Quantum Gravity

We would be glad to have you and share with us these new developments in
an interactive an open atmosphere.


Thank you and best wishes,

The organizers:
Miguel A. Martin-Delgado (UCM) and Hans J. Briegel (IQOQI, Innsbruck)
