Fully Subscribed and Registration Closed

The main objective of this multidisciplinary workshop consisting of physicists, chemists and biologists is in the area of quantum biology. The planned location will be on the Sentosa Island in Singapore between 10-17 January 2009. The intention of the workshop is to stimulate a free exchange of ideas in the field of quantum biology that is becoming increasingly more fascinating and diverse. The main question we would like to address is whether nature engages in any kind of quantum information processing.
