	      INSTRUCTIONAL COURSE IN QUANTUM COMPUTING

			    to be held at

	    International Centre for Mathematical Sciences
			    Edinburgh, UK
			   27-31 March 2000

In the past five years the new subject of quantum computing has
emerged which both offers the potential of immense practical computing
power and also suggests deep links between the well-established
disciplines of quantum theory, information theory and computer
science. A notable feature of the subject is its interdisciplinary
nature with contributions from physicists, mathematicians and computer
scientists in particular.

The aim of the instructional course is to provide a comprehensive
introduction to current developments in quantum computation/quantum
information theory. It is particularly designed to be accessible to
computer scientists as well as graduate students and post-docs from
other relevant disciplines.

The Instructional Course is one of the activities of UK Quantum
Computing Network, funded by the UK EPSRC.
