Quasiprobability distributions have played an important role in the development of quantum mechanics from its beginnings. The Wigner functions and the phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics played and continue to play a crucial role in the development of quantum optics and continuous variable quantum information theory over the last few decades. This workshop will bring together physicists and mathematicians studying all aspects of the use of quasiprobabilities in quantum mechanics and quantum optics, as well as of their recent applications in quantum information theory and quantum metrology.

Topics that will be covered include:

• Nonclassicality witnesses, measures and monotones
• Entanglement witnesses, measures and monotones
• Gaussian and non Gaussian quantum optics
• Quantum metrology and parameter estimation
• Contextuality
• Weak measurement and weak values

Registration is closed.

Talks

Talks will take place in "Sala Consiglio" of the Physics Department (see map Section). The format of the talks will be:

• Long talks:  30 + 5 mins (talk + Q&A)
• Flash talks:   7 + 3 mins (talk + Q&A)
  

Lunches, coffee breaks, and social dinner
