Understanding quantum computing in enough detail to allow its large-scale deployment will clearly transform our society, but there are several obstructions. The most fundamental ones run straight to the heart of the counterintuitiveness of quantum theory: one can only extract data from a quantum system from one classical viewpoint at a time. Learning more requires combining measurements from multiple classical viewpoints. Addressing this issue will advance our theoretical understanding of nature and at the same time has practical benefits to quantum technology. This workshop brings together researchers working on this topic and thematically related areas. It aims to inspire new collaborations and provide an opportunity for young researchers to expand their horizons. This is an interdisciplinary workshop, and not a specialist conference. The goal is not to preach to the converted but to reach out to others. The programme leaves plenty of opportunities for discussion. [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
