The 12th installment of the "Beyond IID in Information Theory" conference series will take place from July 29-August 2, 2024 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The main subject of the conference is theoretical quantum information science, underpinning future technologies that rely on quantum computers and devices. The conference brings together scientists from both classical and quantum information science with the aim of communicating exciting research trends to the quantum workforce and igniting compelling new research directions. Following the tradition of previous installments, this conference consists of a careful balance of cutting-edge, high-impact research talks and time slots for academic discussions and collaborations. This format has been highly successful as it produced a substantive body of work acknowledging progress achieved during previous Beyond IID conferences. A particular focus of the conference is on support, active engagement, and career development of junior researchers (i.e. graduate students and postdocs) from all backgrounds. Several events aimed at these participants have been planned, including a career panel and poster session helping to train the next generation of quantum scientists and connect them with the larger research community. In addition, having the event at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign highlights the robust and dynamic quantum ecosystem within the state of Illinois, including the on-campus Illinois Quantum Information and Science Center (IQUIST), the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE), and others. Notably, the Chicago Metropolitan Statistical Area was recently chosen as a quantum Regional Technology and Innovation Hub by the US Economic Development Administration. Finally, Beyond IID is the only conference of its size and focus in North America in 2024, providing a unique opportunity for many researchers on this continent to learn about the current results in this field.The scientific content of the Beyond IID conference series covers the information-theoretic and mathematical aspects of quantum information science, and its connections to classical information theory and mathematical physics. Core topics discussed in previous Beyond IID conferences include one-shot and finite-blocklength information theory, quantum Shannon theory, cryptography, generalized resource theories, entropy inequalities and matrix analysis. The conference aims to provide a venue for classical and quantum information theorists to report recent progress, identify open problems, and advance current research in quantum information. The latter two objectives are facilitated by an open problems session, an integral part of the conference that continues to drive research in the above areas. Each day will start with an hour-long invited talk giving a broad overview of selected topics by prominent researchers. This year, two of the invited talks are dedicated to the memory of Christopher King and Mary Beth Ruskai, whose work had an immense impact on quantum information theory. The invited talks are followed by contributed talks on exceptional recent results rigorously selected by a program committee. The full scientific program appears on the conference website https://beyondiid2024.iquist.illinois.edu/.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

“超越信息论中的独立同分布”会议系列的第 12 期将于 2024 年 7 月 29 日至 8 月 2 日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校举行。会议的主要主题是理论量子信息科学，支撑依赖量子计算机和设备的未来技术。此次会议汇集了来自经典科学和量子信息科学的科学家，旨在向量子工作者传达令人兴奋的研究趋势，并激发引人注目的新研究方向。秉承前几届会议的传统，本次会议在前沿、高影响力的研究演讲和学术讨论与合作的时段之间进行了谨慎的平衡。这种形式非常成功，因为它产生了大量的实质性工作，承认了之前 Beyond IID 会议所取得的进展。会议的一个特别重点是来自不同背景的初级研究人员（即研究生和博士后）的支持、积极参与和职业发展。已经计划了几项针对这些参与者的活动，包括职业小组和海报会议，帮助培训下一代量子科学家并将他们与更大的研究社区联系起来。此外，在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校举办此次活动凸显了伊利诺伊州强大而动态的量子生态系统，包括校内伊利诺伊州量子信息和科学中心 (IQUIST)、芝加哥量子交易所 (CQE)、和其他人。值得注意的是，芝加哥都会统计区最近被美国经济发展管理局选为量子区域技术和创新中心。最后，Beyond IID 是 2024 年北美唯一一次规模和重点相同的会议，为该大陆的许多研究人员提供了一个独特的机会来了解该领域的当前成果。Beyond IID 会议系列的科学内容涵盖量子信息科学的信息论和数学方面，及其与经典信息论和数学物理学的联系。历届 Beyond IID 会议讨论的核心主题包括一次性和有限块长度信息论、量子香农理论、密码学、广义资源理论、熵不等式和矩阵分析。该会议旨在为经典和量子信息理论家提供一个报告最新进展、发现开放问题并推进当前量子信息研究的场所。开放问题会议促进了后两个目标，这是会议的一个组成部分，继续推动上述领域的研究。 每天都会以一个小时的受邀演讲开始，对著名研究人员选定的主题进行广泛的概述。今年，其中两场受邀演讲专门纪念克里斯托弗·金 (Christopher King) 和玛丽·贝丝·鲁斯凯 (Mary Beth Ruskai)，他们的工作对量子信息理论产生了巨大影响。 受邀演讲之后是由项目委员会严格挑选的有关近期杰出成果的贡献演讲。完整的科学计划出现在会议网站 https://beyondiid2024.iquist.illinois.edu/ 上。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
