The 2nd International Workshop on Solid State Quantum Computing (IWSSQC) will be held at the National Taiwan University (Taipei, Taiwan) from 25-27 June, 2008, preceded with a two-day Quantum Information Science (QIS) Mini-School from 23-24 June, 2008. A one day tour (excursion) after the Workshop on 28 June, 2008 will also be organized.

     The IWSSQC 2008 will cover all aspects of solid-state implementations for quantum information processing, and topics addressed will include both theoretical and experimental attempts. Continuing the effort of the first episode taking place in Nanjing, 2006, the IWSSQC 2008 intends to bring together active researchers and to strengthen the interactions of knowledge in the field of solid-state quantum computing (for some information of the 2006 Nanjing Workshop please see

     The main objectives of the IWSSQC and QIS Mini-School are

1. to provide young researchers and graduate students with introductory lectures and updated research information on solid-state quantum computing,

2. to discuss the current trends and future directions of research in solid-state implementations for quantum computing, and

3. to promote exchanges of scientific knowledge and enhance the interactions of scientists working in solid-state quantum computing
