Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it's a wonderful problem, because it doesn't look so easy.

Richard Feynmann, 1982

Quantum Information is a very active subject, both for what concerns the structural mathematical problems and in view of applications to quantum computing.

To this date, the investigations are mainly devoted to finite dimensional structures, but Quantum Field Theory suggests to consider infinite dimensional situations too, and Operator Algebras provide a natural language for the description of quantum systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom.

Aim of the workshop is to gather for the first time experts in the operator algebraic approach to Quantum Field Theory and in Quantum Information, in order to foster research using the new methods of Operator Algebras.
