PLanQC 2022: Programming Languages for Quantum Computing 1st Call for Submissions We invite members of the programming languages and quantum computing communities to submit talk proposals for the 3rd International Workshop on Programming Languages for Quantum Computing (PLanQC 2022), co-located this September with ICFP in Ljubljana, Slovenia. PLanQC aims to bring together researchers from the fields of programming languages and quantum information, exposing the programming languages community to the unique challenges of programming quantum computers. It will promote the development of tools to assist in the process of programming quantum computers, as they exist today and as they are likely to exist in the near to distant future. Submissions to PLanQC should take the form of 2-5 page abstracts (single-column, 11pt acmsmall style, not including references), with links to larger preprints when appropriate. Work in progress is welcome. We hope to make PLanQC maximally accessible to the programming languages community. Thus, abstracts should cover cutting edge ideas and results, but not be opaque to new, potential entrants to quantum computing coming from programing languages. Abstracts will be reviewed for quality and relevance to the workshop, and accepted authors will be invited to give talks or poster presentations. We will not be publishing formal proceedings, but the extended abstracts, along with links (where available) to full papers will be posted to the website of the workshop. Invited speakers: • Dominique Unruh, University of Tartu • Charles Yuan, MIT Workshop topics include (but are not limited to): • High-level quantum programming languages • Verification tools for quantum programs • Novel quantum programming abstractions • Quantum circuit and program optimizations • Hardware-aware circuit compilation and routing • Error handling, mitigation, and correction • Instruction sets for quantum hardware • Other techniques from traditional programming languages (e.g., types, compilation/optimization, foreign function interfaces) applied to the domain of quantum computation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates: • Submission deadline: 20 June 2022 (anywhere on earth) • Author notification: 1 August 2022 • Workshop: TBA (one of 11, 15, or 16 of September 2022) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important links: • Website: https://icfp22.sigplan.org/home/planqc-2022 • Submission: https://planqc2022.hotcrp.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Committee: Matthew Amy, Simon Fraser University Robert Booth, The University of Edinburgh Olivia Di Matteo, University of British Columbia Yufei Ding, UC Santa Barbara Ross Duncan, Cambridge Quantum Computing Ltd Peng (Frank) Fu, Dalhousie University Kesha Hietala, University of Maryland Kohei Kishida, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Aleks Kissinger, University of Oxford Bert Lindenhovius, Tulane University Robert Rand, University of Chicago Mathys Rennela, Inria Neil Julien Ross (chair), Dalhousie University Sam Staton, University of Oxford Mathias Soeken, Microsoft Dominique Unruh, University of Tartu Benoît Valiron, Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, CentraleSupélec, LMF Vladimir Zamdzhiev, Inria, LORIA, Université de Lorraine Organizing Committee: Matt Amy, Simon Fraser University Ross Duncan, Cambridge Quantum Computing Robert Rand, University of Chicago Neil Julien Ross, Dalhousie University [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
