QPL 2011 workshop (Nijmegen)

[Peter Selinger]

 	 8th workshop on QUANTUM PHYSICS AND LOGIC (QPL 2011)

 		    Nijmegen, October 27-29, 2011.
 		      http://qpl.science.ru.nl/

 			Call for submissions.

 				  *

  This event will bring together researchers working on mathematical
  foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing and information,
  and spatio-temporal causal structures, and in particular those that
  use logical tools, ordered algebraic and category-theoretic
  structures, formal languages, semantical methods and other computer
  science methods for the study physical behaviour in general. Over the
  past few years, there has been growing activity in these foundational
  approaches, together with a renewed interest in the foundations of
  quantum theory, which complement the more mainstream research in
  quantum computation.

Invited Speakers:

  Hans Maassen (Nijmegen)
  Urs Schreiber (Utrecht)
  Rob Spekkens (Perimeter Institute)

Deadlines:

  Submission: Aug 27
  Notification of authors: Sep 20
  Corrected papers due: Oct 13

Submission:

  Prospective speakers are invited to submit a 5-12 page extended
  abstract that provides sufficient evidence of results of genuine
  interest and provides sufficient detail to allows the program
  committee to assess the merits of the work. Submissions of works in
  progress are encouraged but must be more substantial than a research
  proposal. Submissions should be prepared using LaTeX, and must be
  submitted in PDF format at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=3D=
qpl11

Proceedings:

  Extended versions of accepted talks will be published in Electronic
  Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) after the
  workshop.
