Welcome to the homepage for the Eighteenth Annual Spring Institute Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras |
This year’s topic is Connes’ embedding problem and quantum information theory. The Eighteenth Annual Spring Institute on Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras is a combination of spring school and international conference. During the school part of the meeting several mini-courses on a variety of topics from noncommutative geometry, operator algebras and related topics will be given by leading experts. The conference will consist of a number of invited research talks and short contributions. We strongly encourage students and postdocs to attend this conference. Please read the section on financial aid below regarding information on how to apply for financial support.
