The 15th International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic
(QPL 2018) will take place at Dalhousie University June 3-7, 2018.

The conference brings together researchers working on mathematical
foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing, and related areas,
with a focus on structural perspectives and the use of logical tools,
ordered algebraic and category-theoretic structures, formal languages,
semantical methods, and other computer science techniques applied to
the study of physical behaviour in general. Work that applies
structures and methods inspired by quantum theory to other fields
(including computer science) is also welcome.

QPL 2018 will be co-located with the 34th Conference on the
Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS 2018), which
takes place from June 6–9.

IMPORTANT DATES

  April 1: abstract submission

INVITED TUTORIALS

  Teiko Heinosaari (Turku)
  Ciaran Lee (University College London)

SUBMISSIONS

  Prospective speakers are invited to submit one (or more) of the
  following:

  - Original contributions consist of a 5-12 page extended abstract
    that provides sufficient evidence of results of genuine interest
    and enough detail to allow the program committee to assess the
    merits of the work. Submission of substantial albeit partial
    results of work in progress is encouraged.

  - Extended abstracts describing work submitted/published elsewhere
    will also be considered, provided the work is recent and relevant
    to the conference. These consist of a 3 page description and should
    include a link to a separate published paper or preprint.

  The conference proceedings will be published in Electronic
  Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) after the
  conference. Only "original contributions" are eligible to be
  published in the proceedings.

  Submissions should be prepared using LaTeX, and must be submitted in
  PDF format. Use of the EPTCS style is encouraged. Submission is done
  via EasyChair:

  https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpl2018

  There will be an award for the best student paper at the discretion
  of the programme committee. Papers eligible for the award are those
  where all the authors are students at the time of submission.
