[Category theory is used heavily in the semantics of programming
languages, and it used in interesting ways in the semantics of quantum
programming languages. Therefore, this announcement might be of
interest to the categories community. -PS]
CALL FOR PAPERS
4th International Workshop on Quantum Programming Languages
(QPL2006)
July 17-19, 2006, Oxford
http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/qpl2006/
* * *
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working
on mathematical foundations and programming languages for quantum
computing. In the last few years, there has been a growing interest
in logical tools, languages, and semantical methods for analyzing
quantum computation. These foundational approaches complement the
more mainstream research in quantum computation which emphasizes
algorithms and complexity theory.
Possible topics include the design and semantics of quantum
programming languages, new paradigms for quantum programming,
specification of quantum algorithms, higher-order quantum
computation, quantum data types, reversible computation, axiomatic
approaches to quantum computation, abstract models for quantum
computation, properties of quantum computing resources and
primitives, concurrent and distributed quantum computation,
compilation of quantum programs, semantical methods in quantum
information theory, and categorical models for quantum computation.
Previous workshops in this series were held in Ottawa (2003), Turku
(2004), and Chicago (2005).
This year's workshop will be held in Oxford, as part of the
week-long event "Cats, Kets and Cloisters", July 17-23, 2006,
which will include four workshops on related topics (See
http://se10.comlab.ox.ac.uk:8080/FOCS/CKCinOXFORD_en.html).
TUTORIALS:
The first day of the workshop, July 17, will consist of tutorials,
followed by two days of contributed research talks.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Prospective speakers should submit a detailed abstract (or extended
abstract) of 5-12 pages. Submissions of works in progress are
encouraged, but must be more substantial than a research proposal.
Submissions must provide sufficient detail to allow the program
committee to assess the merits of the work. Submissions should be
in Postscript or PDF format, and should be sent to
selinger@mathstat.dal.ca by May 10 (please put "workshop
submission" in the subject line). Receipt of all submissions will
be acknowledged by return email.
IMPORTANT DATES/DEADLINES:
Submissions: May 10, 2006
Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2006
Corrected papers: June 14, 2006
Workshop: July 17-19, 2006
