St.Benet2010
From MPQTheory
Preliminary program of the Joint ICFO-MPQ workshop on "New Trends in Quantum Information and Quantum Optics", to be held from Tuesday December 14th till Friday December 17th (2010) in St. Benet near Barcelona. (The workshop takes place in the Hotel Mon, St. Benet near the ancient monastery, and one should add that the food is excellent.)
