Title: Physics of information, information in physics, and the demon
Venue: Okazaki Conference Center, Okazaki, Japan
Date: 27th - 29th June, 2012
http://www.th.phys.titech.ac.jp/~shikano/demon/

Workshop description:
Maxwell's demon is still alive. Even though Landauer and Bennett
allegedly exorcised him, we are witnessing his vigorous activity in
the recent literature in thermodynamics, statistical mechanics,
quantum information, and information science. Moreover, the progress
in experimental techniques now allows us to see him in the lab. We
are now more able than ever to gossip about his whereabouts and
activities in nature. It should be the right timing to provide
researchers in relevant communities with an opportunity to share
their ideas. The main interests of this workshop will include but
not limited to
- the fundamental roles of information in the foundations of physics,
- the interplay between different fields through information,
- the natural dynamics from the viewpoint of information processing, and
- the modern Maxwell's demon of the scales from the lab to the universe.

Invited speakers:
Paul Skrzypczyk (University of Cambridge, UK)
Oscar Dahlsten (National University of Singapore, Singapore)
Karoline Wiesner (University of Bristol, UK)
Tadashi Takayanagi (Kyoto University, Japan) 
"Introduction to Gravitational Holography" (tutorial) 
"Geometric Calculations of Entanglement Entropy via Holography"
Mikito Toda (Nara Women University, Japan)

皆様のご参加をお待ちしております。
