Quantum Information Science (QIS) is an emerging field with the potential to cause revolutionary advances in many areas, crossing physics, mathematics, engineering, informatics and even philosophy. The roots of this field go back about thirty years, when pioneers began thinking about the implications of combining quantum physics, information and computation. In the course of supporting leading edge-research several Italian scientists have been involved in QIS-related projects. However, the growing excitement and opportunities in QIS call for a careful examination of the role of Italy in this new field. IQIS2008 is planned to be the first national conference dedicated to Quantum Information Science.

Abstract
Quantum Information Science (QIS) is an emerging field with the potential to cause revolutionary advances in many areas, crossing physics, mathematics, engineering, informatics and even philosophy. The roots of this field go back about thirty years, when pioneers began thinking about the implications of combining quantum physics, information and computation. In the course of supporting leading edge-research several Italian scientists have been involved in QIS-related projects. However, the growing excitement and opportunities in QIS call for a careful examination of the role of Italy in this new field. IQIS2008 is planned to be the first national conference dedicated to Quantum Information Science.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
