* * *

The 16th International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic
(QPL 2019) will take place at Chapman University June 10-14, 2019.

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.

IMPORTANT DATES

  April  1: abstract submission
  April  7: paper submission
  April 30: application for student support
  May   12: notification of authors
  May   17: early registration deadline
  May   24: final papers ready
  June 10-14: conference

INVITED SPEAKERS

  John Baez (UC Riverside)
  Anna Pappa (University College London)
  Joel Wallman (University of Waterloo)

INVITED TUTORIALS

  Ana Belen Sainz (Perimeter Institute)
  Quanlong Wang (University of Oxford)

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=qpl2019 <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpl2019>

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.
