QUANTUM PHYSICS AND LOGIC  (QPL2012)
10-12 October 2012
Université Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium

==========================================

We invite contributions to QPL 2012!  The DEADLINE IS SOON.  

The 9th workshop on Quantum Physics and Logic will bring together researchers working on mathematical foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing 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 techniques for the study of physical behaviour in general.

There will be full programme of contributed talks, and invited lectures from:
 - Stefaan Caenepeel (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)
 - Jens Eisert (Frei Universität Berlin) [TBC]
 - Serge Massar (Université Libre de Bruxelles
 - Paul-André Melliès (Université Paris Diderot - Paris 7)
There will be a workshop dinner on Thursday night.

There are funds available to enable the participation of students.  Please see the webpage for details.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Prospective speakers are invited to submit a contribution to the worksshop. We are considering two kinds of contributions.
 - Short contributions consisting of a 3 page description of the work, and a link to a paper published elsewhere. 
 - Longer original contributions consisting of a 5-12 page extended abstract which provides sufficient evidence of results of genuine interest and provides sufficient detail to allow 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 and can be done via easy chair. Extended versions of accepted original research contributions will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) after the workshop.

IMPORTANT DATES

All deadlines are at 9am Brussels time (i.e. CEST, UTC+2).
 - 20 August: Submission of paper
 - 10 September: Notification of authors
 - 24 September: Camera-ready version due
