CATS, KETS AND CLOISTERS

This summer several workshops will take place at Oxford University, July 17-23, 2006. These workshops include plenary, tutorial, survey and research talks. Plenary speakers are: Richard Jozsa (University of Bristol), Basil Hiley (Birkbeck College, London) and Jim Lambek (McGill University, Montreal). Tutorials include: Quantum Information and Computation, Computer Science Logic and Semantics. Tutorial speakers are: Samuel Lomonaco Jr (UMBC, Maryland), Samson Abramsky (Oxford University) and Simon Gay (University of Glasow).

Here are the provisional PROGRAM schematically and provisional PROGRAM data. Please inform us if you wish to present a poster.
Please register at CKC registration. While in general we won't enforce registration, due the high number of speaker + registered participants we have so far, in the event that we exceed the capacity of the lecture room, people without badges will be asked to leave (that is, those who are not speakers/poster presenters at CKC nor have registered).
Call: Quantum Programing Languages IV
Call: New Models of Quantum Informatics
Call: Axiomatics for Quantum Mechanics
Call: Tensors, Knots and Braids in Logic and Physics
CKC enjoys the support from EPSRC Network on Semantics of Quantum Computation EP/E006833/1 & EP/E00623X/1. It provides funding for two QPL tutorials and supports attandance of research students based in Britain. There will also be some support from EPSRC Advanced Fellowship on The Structure of Quantum Information and its Applications to IT EP/D072786/1.

Practicalities. The local organizing committee consists of:

Bob Coecke (Main Organizer, Computing, bob.coecke AT comlab.ox.ac.uk)

Hilary Priestley (Mathematics)

Oxford is a pleasant place to visit during the summer, with many things to see (including London, only an hour by train), and a wealth of tourist attractions and beautiful country-side conveniently accessible. Oxford has a wide variety of places to stay, including both junior and senior College Accomodation, Hotels, Hostels, and many Bed and Breakfasts (B&Bs) and Guest Houses. We would in particular recommend the B&Bs since they tend to be much cheaper than hotels, and the British breakfast keeps you going for the whole day.
