CALL FOR PARTICIPATION 3nd International Workshop on Quantum Programming Languages (QPL2005) June 30 - July 1, 2005, Chicago, U.S.A. Affiliated with LICS 2005 http://quasar.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~selinger/qpl2005/ * * * Registration for this workshop is now available, please see below for registration information and a list of talks. Note that the early hotel registration deadline for LICS is May 1. OVERVIEW: The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on mathematical foundations and programming languages for quantum computing. In the last few years, there has been a growing interest in logical tools, languages, and semantical methods for analyzing quantum computation. These foundational approaches complement the more mainstream research in quantum computation which emphasizes algorithms and complexity theory. Possible topics include the design and semantics of quantum programming languages, new paradigms for quantum programming, specification of quantum algorithms, higher-order quantum computation, quantum data types, reversible computation, axiomatic approaches to quantum computation, abstract models for quantum computation, properties of quantum computing resources and primitives, concurrent and distributed quantum computation, compilation of quantum programs, semantical methods in quantum information theory, and categorical models for quantum computation. Previous workshops in this series were held in Ottawa (2003) and Turku (2004). REGISTRATION: Registration and local arrangements will be handled through the LICS 2005 main conference (http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/als/lics/lics05/). There will be a small fee for attending the workshop, which will cover coffee breaks and the informal proceedings. Participants are encouraged to register as early as possible, as this will help us plan how many copies of the proceedings to print. INVITED SPEAKER: * Hans J.
