Quantum information science has made significant progress in recent decades, with many promising applications including efficient quantum algorithms, secure quantum communication protocols, and ultra-sensitive quantum sensors. Besides practical applications, quantum information science also sheds light on fundamental physics questions, including tensor network descriptions of many-body systems, entanglement characterization of topological quantum systems, and information aspects of black holes. As a relatively new research field, quantum information science builds on important concepts usually not introduced in the standard physics curriculum, which poses a barrier for young researchers to get into this active research field. The 2018 Boulder school will provide young researchers expert training on quantum information science usually not available within the traditional system of graduate education and postdoctoral apprenticeship.
