Summary
03 April 2000, “Foundations in the Light of Information”
Below is a slightly modified version of the invitation letter I sent everyone. (The only change is an update on the attendance.) Looking forward to seeing you again. (BTW, I hope you'll take the problems list seriously.)
Dear friends,
Gilles Brassard and I are organizing a little meeting in Montréal from Wednesday May 17 through Friday May 19 on the subject of “Quantum Foundations in the Light of Quantum Information and Cryptography.” We hope you can come. Mainly the purpose of the meeting is to gather a group of our friends who think that some aspects of quantum foundations are a little more mysterious than they ought to be and, importantly, are intrigued by the idea of applying quantum information to the task of cleaning things up. The atmosphere of the meeting should be quite relaxed with plenty of time for discussion and/or private brooding: we only ask that you be prepared to give a 20 to 30 minute talk (though longer talks are welcome too) expressing your point of view and any avenues for progress you foresee. Attendants are also encouraged to compile and share a list of concrete problems whose solution would tell us something novel about the quantum foundations.
