MIT Quantum Computing Conference, Toga Party

Posted by timothy on from the put-those-qbits-in-their-hypothetical-places dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "MIT is hosting a LARGE quantum computing conference on July 22-26, 2002. Should be a lot of fun. Most of the famous scientists in the field will be there. However, I and others are a bit horrified by the high (some might say elitist) entrance fee ($325) which practically precludes students from participating. Too bad there isn't an open-conference advocacy."

    I don't know, this seems in line or lower than many confs I've been to. Many of them, however, have provided substantial student discounts. My best advice is, if you are involved in the field actively, you can probably get your home department to underwrite the entrance fee, particularly if you're willing to road trip there.
