We are pleased to announce the following event: SPRING SCHOOL ON QUANTUM STRUCTURES IN PHYSICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE * 19--22 May 2014, University of Oxford, UK * http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/ss2014 This school will present a range of lectures on quantum structures in physics and computer science, with a focus on abstract algebraic techniques, including category theory. It is an ideal event for PhD students, as well as more established researchers, who would like to learn more about these exciting topics close to the research frontier. The courses will be accessible to anyone who has taken a first course in quantum information. Everyone is welcome to participate, and registration information can be found on the school web page. The school will feature the following courses: * Samson Abramsky, "Contextual semantics" * Jon Barrett, "Correlations and contexts: the quantum no-go theorems" * Bart Jacobs, "A categorical exposition of the duality between states and effects in quantum foundations" * Prakash Panangaden, "Stone, Gelfand and Tannaka dualities" * Peter Selinger, "Number-theoretic methods in quantum information theory" * Aleks Kissinger and Bob Coecke, "Quantum picturalism" * Chris Heunen and Jamie Vicary, "Categorical quantum computing" This event is twinned with a conference in honour of Prakash Panangaden on the occasion of his 60th birthday, to be held on the dates 23--25 May 2014 at the University of Oxford: * http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/pf2014 Please circulate this announcement to those who might be interested, and use the poster available on the website to advertise this event in your institution. Best wishes, Bob Coecke and Jamie Vicary Spring School Organizers [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
