Quantum Discord Workshop 2012

Quantum discord has captured the attention and imaginations of many researchers working in a variety of (quantum) fields. We are organizing this workshop with the aim of bringing these researchers together to discuss not only quantum discord, rather quantum physics and the role of correlations. We will not have many talks in this workshop, about 4 hours of talks per day. Instead we want to encourage collaboration building and interdisciplinary research pursuits.

Quantum discord has had a significant impact in open quantum system, many-body physics and phase transition, quantum communication, computing and information, thermodynamics and demons, measurement problem to list a few fields. Some of these communities are fairly detached from each other and many are geographically separated. We hope that this will be a good opportunity to close these gaps and open new avenues.
