                   CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

              The 12th International Workshop on
               Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL)

             July 13-17, Oxford, United Kingdom

The 12th International Workshop on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL)
will take place at the Department of Computer Science of the University
of Oxford between Wednesday 15 and Friday 17 July, 2015. The
workshop will be preceded by tutorials on Monday 13 and
Tuesday 14 July 2015.

This workshop brings together researchers working on mathematical
foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing, spatio-temporal
causal structures, and related areas such as computational linguistics.
Of particular interest are topics that use logical tools, ordered algebraic
and category-theoretic structures, formal languages, semantical
methods and other computer science methods for the study of physical
behaviour in general.

Previous QPL events were held in Kyoto (2014), Barcelona (2013),
Brussels (2012), Nijmegen (2011), Oxford (2010), Oxford (2009),
Reykjavik (2008), Oxford (2006), Chicago (2005), Turku (2004),
and Ottawa (2003).
