<a name="plenary1"></a>
<p>9:00 AM - 10:00 AM : <b>Plenary talk - Prof. Martin Wainwright</b><br /><i>Session chair: Andrew Eckford</i></p>
<p><b>From Information Theory to Statistics: A few modern vignettes</b></p>
<p><i>Abstract:</i> While information theory has shared close connections with
statistics since its inception, the modern era of "big data" has
raised a number of new challenges at this interface. In this talk, we
provide an overview of some statistical problems in which information
theory has an important role to play. Examples include the problem of
inferring the structure of large-scale networks from data, the
minimization of convex functions based on noisy gradients, and
trade-offs between individual privacy and statistical utility. In
each of these settings, information-theoretic methods can be brought
to bear in interesting and powerful ways.</p>

<h3>Thursday, June 20</h3>
<a name="plenary2"></a>
<p>9:00 AM - 10:00 AM : <b>Plenary talk - Prof. David Cory</b><br /><i>Session chair: Patrick Mitran</i></p>
<p><b>Realizing Quantum Information Processors</b></p>
<p><i>Abstract:</i> Quantum mechanics is the ultimate law of nature and when we can build a device that behaves uniquely quantum mechanically then we may achieve the highest efficiencies allowed by nature. One of the most compelling applications of quantum devices is for information processing. I will describe laboratory scale, small quantum processors: including a bit about how they work and what they are useful for. I will discuss some near term quantum devices, sensors and actuators that are emerging from laboratories. Finally I will include a brief perspective of where we are on the path to building a general-purpose quantum computer.</p>
