Workshop on Continuous Variables and Relativistic Quantum Information
runs within the framework of the 6th International Conference on New Frontiers in Physics
Monday 21 - Wednesday 23 August 2017, Crete, Greece
Quantum information is now an established field of research with the ultimate goal to make quantum physics a foundation to technology, pushing limits in precision, computational power and security of telecommunication. Novel generations of experiments have made it inevitable to take relativistic effects into account. Examples are fast moving quantum systems or changes in the gravitational potential. Quantum coherence of larger scale systems is a subject currently under intense study, particularly within quantum optics.
This workshop on Continuous Variables and Relativistic Quantum Information is intended to bring together experts on relativistic quantum information, quantum coherence, in particular on continuous variable quantum optics, in an informal setting for networking and discussion of new ideas on fundamental issues as well as applications in quantum technologies.
The workshop is supported by IMPP (International Max Planck Partnership).

Please note that the main conference takes place from 17 - 29 August 2017.
The Workshop on Continuous Variables and Relativistic Quantum Information runs from Monday 21 August to Wednesday 23 August. There will be a joint session and poster session on Wednesday with the Workshop on Quantum Foundations and Quantum Information (until Friday 25 August).
