James H Simons Conference on Quantum and Reversible Computation State University of New York at Stony Brook, 28-31 May 2003 Quantum information and quantum computation has been a rapidly developing field attracting interest from mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists. The goal of this conference is to generate interaction between mathematicians interested in efficient quantum algorithms and quantum error-correcting codes, and physicists trying to build quantum computers. We will stimulate this interaction with lectures on the most important recent developments by world experts. The conference will also cover reversible information processing, which is of interest in classical as well as quantum computing. The reversible nature of the quantum evolution of isolated systems makes logical reversibility on the classical level a prerequisite for any realization of a quantum computer. Reversible computing does not generate the heat associated with information erasure, and is therefore of interest in reducing the heat produced by classical computers. This conference has been made possible through a generous donation by James H Simons.
