Quantum 2010 - Workshop ad memoriam of Carlo Novero

Quantum 2010: V workshop ad memoriam of Carlo Novero
Advances in Foundations of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information with atoms and photons

Under the High Patronage of the President of the Italian Republic

and the

3rd Italian Quantum Information Science Conference IQIS 2010

Purpose of this workshop is to favour the exchange of ideas and discussion on last results among leading physicists working in the interconnected fields of Quantum Information and Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, in particular in the framework of quantum optics.
It is organized "ad memoriam" of our colleague and friend Carlo Novero who gave birth to this research line in our Institute.

The organizers:
Marco Genovese, Giorgio Brida & Maria Luisa Rastello (I.N.RI.M. formerly IEN Galileo Ferraris)
Augusto Garuccio (Dipartimento Interateneo di Fisica, Università e Politecnico di Bari)

Some information about Turin
Turin is a relatively large European town (1 milion of inhabitants) near Alps (in 2006 winter olympics games were in Turin). The weather in May is already warm (about 25 Celsius degrees), but can be rainy.

The history of Turin is quite long: it appeared first time in III century b.C. as allied of Rome during second Punic war (it was destroyed by Hannibal who crossed Alps in the valley in front of it).
Then it was refounded by emperor Augusto as “Augusta Taurinorum”. At the end of empire was seat of a bishop. Then it was free city before becoming part of Savoia dukedom (vassal of Holy Roman Germanic emperor). Since XV century became the capital town of the dukedom (University was founded in 1403) and, after having sustained a long siege of French troops in 1706, with Utrecht peace (1713) capital town of Sardinia Kingdom. During the whole medieval, renaissance and baroque time it was often besieged during wars between French, Spaniards and Empire, becoming periodically under French power. It was part of French Empire of Napoleon. After restoration it became the centre of Italian Unification. The king of Turin Vittorio Emanuele II unified Italy in 1859-1861 and Turin became the first capital town of the unified kingdom. In the last century, after the transfer of the capital town to Florence (and then Rome), Turin grew as industrial town. Among famous Turin physicists of the past one can remember Lagrange and Avogadro.

Many historical monuments remember its history as the royal palace, the palace of the queen (“Palazzo Madama”), the mole Antonelliana (a former synagogue, the highest building in bricks in the World), the holy shroud chapel and the renaissance cathedral, many baroque palaces. Many museums collect the collections of Savoia dukes (among them the most famous is Egyptian Museum, the second in the World after Cairo).
How to get to Torino
The “Città di Torino Airport”, situated in Caselle, 16 kilometres (10 miles) north from the town centre, serves Torino. For further information see the airport Web site.

A continuous coach service of SADEM lines (blue buses) connects the Airport with Torino railway central station Porta Nuova. The bus leaves just in front of the arrival exits of the Airport. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket office and at the automatic ticket-machine close to the exit for € 5,50, or on the bus at € 6 (2009 fares). Travel time from the Airport to the town centre is about 40 minutes. Bus timetable.

As an alternative, a Taxi service is provided outside the terminal, just in front of the arrival exit. The one-way fare to go to downtown is approximately € 35 in the day and € 50 by night; from the airport to INRIM the price is about € 50 in the day and € 70 in the night. Travel time to Turin center is about 20 minutes, about 30-40 minutes during rush hours.

Also car renting is possible at the Airport, with these companies: AVIS, Hertz, EuropCar, Budget/Maggiore, Sixt/Autotravel, Thrifty/Italy by Car. Car rentals companies are grouped together, immediately in front of the Domestic Arrivals, ground floor-level zero. Daily car parking is possible for free in the courtyard of INRIM.
Buses In Torino
Metro, buses and tramways provide public transportation in Torino. Tickets can be purchased at the news-stands and tobacconists, not on the buses. Price of one ticket is € 1, one ticket is valuable on the whole urban network for 70 minutes since its validation, which has to be made before the first stop by using the punching machines on board.
