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 April 6: paper submission May 11: notification of authors May 25: final papers ready June 3???7: conference INVITED SPEAKERS Debbie Leung (Waterloo) Additional invited speakers to be confirmed. 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.
