* Keith Hannabus (Oxford, Mathematics)
    http://users.ox.ac.uk/~kch/
* John Barrett (Nothingham, Mathematics)

    http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/people/Simon.Perdrix/
* Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh (Paris VII, PPS)
    http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~mehrs/

but are expected to have several more.  It was requested by the audience
at the last workshop to provide tutorials, namely quantum theory for
mathematicians and category theory for physicists.  At this workshop we
will provide the first:

* Tutorials on quantum theory for mathematicians

On Saturday morning and early afternoon.  Travel and hotel information
will be made available at the website very soon.  As before, for reasons
of logistics, could you please let us know if you intend to attend.

Best wishes, Bob Coecke and Andreas Doering.
