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.
