AQIS'13 is a meeting focused on quantum information processing, communication and cryptography, an interdisciplinary field bridging quantum physics, computer science, mathematics, and information technologies. This event, which is the thirteenth in a highly successful series, building upon EQIS'01-05 and AQIS'06-12, is coming to India for the first time, having been held previously in Japan, China and Korea. This is the prime Asian conference in the field.

Organized by the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, AQIS'13 will take place in Chennai, India, from 25 to 30 August 2013. Details about the conference are available via the website, which we invite you to visit often as new information will appear regularly.

AQIS’13 will consist of invited talks, selected oral and poster
presentations, as well as other activities.

Invited speakers (to be completed):

- Girish S Agarwal (Oklahoma State University, USA)
- Alain Aspect* (Institut d'Optique, Palaiseau, France)
