Quantum information science (QIS) and quantum optomechanics ( QOM ) are emerging frontiers that have generated a great deal of interests and stimulated novel potential applications. The aim of QIS is to understand how certain fundamental laws of quantum physics can be harnessed to dramatically improve the storage, control, processing and transmission of information. QOM systems, i.e., coherent optical systems combined with micromechanical devices, may enable development of ultrasensitive force sensors and quantum information processing technology, as well as permit observation of quantum behavior in large-scale structures.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from QIS, QOM and related fields to discuss recent advances and exchange ideas about these emerging frontiers.
