The 11th workshop on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL) will take place at Kyoto University, Japan, from 4th to 6th, JUNE 2014.

This workshop will bring together researchers working on mathematical foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing and spatio-temporal causal structures, and in particular those that use logical tools, ordered algebraic and category-theoretic structures, formal languages, semantical methods and other computer science methods for the study of physical behaviour in general.

Previous QPL events were held in Ottawa (2003), Turku (2004), Chicago (2005), Oxford (2006),Reykjavik (2008), Oxford (2009), Oxford (2010), Nijmegen (2011), Brussels (2012) and Barcelona (2013).

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission Deadline: 13th Apr, 2014 Notification of Acceptance: 4th May Papers Ready: 11th May Workshop: 4th-6th June

SUBMISSIONS

Prospective speakers are invited to submit a contribution to the workshop.

- *Short contributions* consist of a 3 page description of the work, and a link to a paper published elsewhere.

- Longer *original contributions* consist of a 5-12 page extended abstract which provides sufficient evidence of results of genuine interest and provides sufficient detail to allow the program committee to assess the merits of the work. Submissions of works in progress are encouraged but must be more substantial than a research proposal.

Extended versions of accepted original research contributions will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) after the workshop. Selected contributions will further be invited to a special issue in the journal New Generation Computing.

Submissions should be prepared using LaTeX (use of the EPTCS style is encouraged), and must be submitted in PDF format. Submission is done via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpl2014

STUDENT TRAVEL SUPPORT

We encourage participation by graduate students. Students will pay a reduced registration fee. We will also be able to provide limited financial support to students for travel and accommodations. Further information is found on the workshop website.
