QICS

1st_Call

• NEW MODELS OF QUANTUM INFORMATICS

• AXIOMATICS FOR QUANTUM MECHANICS

• TENSORS KNOTS AND BRAIDS IN LOGIC AND PHYSICS

• Jens Eisert (Imperial College, UK)
• Richard Jozsa (University of Bristol, UK)
• Samuel Lomonaco Jr. (UMBC, Maryland, US)
• Prakash Panangaden (McGill University, CA)
• Philip Scott (University of Ottawa, CA)
• Samson Abramsky (University of Oxford, UK)
• Bob Coecke (University of Oxford, UK)

Preference will be given to talks which are accessible beyond the boundaries of the distinct workshops. The three workshops should indeed be conceived as themes within a bigger event. Slots will be allocated to speakers to some extend on a first-come-first-serve base, subject to a quality check and sufficiently broad relevance check by the PC. Please send your contributions to:

    bob.coecke@comlab.ox.ac.uk

SURVEYS/TUTORIALS: Each workshop will include tutorial and/or survey talks. Preliminary informal contacts concerning have confirmed several people willing to provide these survey/tutorial lectures, including

    Samson Abramsky (University of Oxford, UK), 
    Richard Jozsa (University of Bristol, UK), 
    Samuel Lomonaco Jr (UMBC, Maryland, US), 

among others. Topics under consideration include (but are not limited to): measurement-based quantum computation, topological quantum computation, simulations of quantum computations, knots and braids in logic, quantum geometry and topology, categorical algebra for quantum mechanics, and semantics for quantum computing. Relevant proposals for surveys/tutorials are also still welcome!

POSTER SESSION: Students and other young researchers in particular are encouraged to propose posters, which will be displayed in the workshop area throughout the whole event, and to which a session will be dedicated.

PRACTICALITIES: Please consult the Cats,Kets and Cloisters main page.
