[Several of the talks in this workshop involve type systems for
quantum computing. Hence I hope that this announcement is of interest
to the types community. -PS]
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
4th International Workshop on Quantum Programming Languages
(QPL 2006)
July 17-19, 2006, Oxford
(held in conjunction with CKC, "Cats, Kets, and Cloisters")
http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/qpl2006/
* * *
NEW:
* list of accepted papers
* available support for UK-based PhD students (deadline June 20)
OVERVIEW:
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.
Topics of interest 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).

GRADUATE STUDENT SUPPORT: (Deadline June 20)
A limited amount of financial support is available to support the
participation of UK-based PhD students in the workshop. Students
wishing to apply for this money should write to Simon Gay
<simon at dcs.gla.ac.uk> by June 20, and include the following
information:
1. A brief statement of your background as well as why you are
interested in attending the conference.
2. Describe any other sources of funding available for you to
attend.
3. An email letter of reference from your supervisor or an
appropriate other person.
TUTORIALS:
The workshop will include a number of invited tutorials and survey
talks. One set of tutorials will be given by Sam Lomonaco; more
details and additional speakers will shortly be announced on the
workshop website, http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/qpl2006/
PROCEEDINGS:
The workshop proceedings will be published in Electronic Notes in
Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS). A printed copy of the
preliminary proceedings will be distributed to participants at the
workshop.
REGISTRATION AND TRAVEL:
Please register through the CKC website. There is a small workshop
fee covering proceedings and coffee breaks. The website also
includes hints on travel and accommodation.
