Albert Einstein Institute (Golm) is acting as a satellite school for the ‘It from Qubit’ summer school taking place at Perimeter Institute, 18 – 29 July 2016. We will broadcast the main lectures live, and the students should be able to ask questions too. The lectures will take place from 3 to 6:30 pm CEST. We will also provide room space for additional sessions before the main lectures, that the students can use for solving the accompanying exercise sheets, viewing previous day’s focus lectures or engage in discussions. The schedule for the satellite school can be found below. Please note that parallel sessions take place on 18th, 19th and 20th. Interested students are encouraged to register soon as we only have limited spaces available.
The lectures will take place either in the central building (CB) of the campus or in a lecture room at AEI itself. The entrance to the institute is only possible with a special key card, which unfortunately we cannot provide to the non-AEI participants of the summer school. Therefore, on Monday, 18th July, we will meet at the front desk at 2:30 pm in the central building and provide further details concerning the entrance possibilities for the period of the summer school.
There are no registration fees.
All relevant material pertaining to the summer school, including problem sheets (+ solutions) and recordings of the previous lectures can be found on the PI website.
