CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd International Workshop on Quantum Programming Languages (QPL2004) July 12-13, 2004, Turku, Finland Affiliated with LICS 2004 http://quasar.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~selinger/qpl2004/ * * * The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on mathematical formalisms 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 syntax 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, concurrent and distributed quantum computation, compilation of quantum programs, semantical methods in quantum information theory, and categorical models for quantum computation. The first workshop in this series was held June 15-16, 2003, in Ottawa, Canada. SUBMISSION PROCEDURES: The workshop will be a 1.5-day workshop, with some invited speakers and some contributed presentations. Those who wish to give a contributed presentation should submit a one-page abstract (or a full paper up to 12 pages, if available) by April 25 to selinger@mathstat.uottawa.ca (please put "workshop submission" in the subject line). Authors of accepted abstracts or papers are invited to submit a full version (subject to a page limit, details to be announced) for inclusion in the workshop proceedings (to be distributed at the workshop) by June 7. If there is a sufficient number of papers, we will also arrange for them to be published as a volume of ENTCS, probably in association with other LICS or ICALP associated workshops (details to be announced). REGISTRATION: Registration and local arrangements will be handled through the LICS 2004 main conference (http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/als/lics/lics04/). There will be a small fee for attending the workshop, which will cover lunch, coffee, and proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES/DEADLINES: Submission of abstracts: April 25, 2004 Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2004 Paper for inclusion in proceedings: June 7, 2004 Workshop: July 12-13, 2004 CONTACT INFORMATION: Organizer: Peter Selinger Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Ottawa, Canada Email: selinger@mathstat.uottawa.ca
