QPL 2023: The 20th International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic Institut Henri Poincaré Paris, France, July 17-21, 2023

The 20th International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL 2023) will take place from 17 July to 21 July 2023 at Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris, France. Quantum Physics and Logic is an annual conference that brings together academic and industry researchers working on mathematical foundations of quantum computation, quantum physics, and related areas. The main focus is on the use of algebraic and categorical structures, formal languages, type systems, semantic methods, as well as other mathematical and computer scientific techniques applicable to the study of physical systems, physical processes, and their composition. Work applying quantum-inspired techniques and structures to other fields (such as linguistics, artificial intelligence, and causality) is also welcome.

Important Dates

• Abstract submission deadline: 12 March 2023
• Paper submission deadline: 17 March 2023
• Notification: 1 May 2023
• Registration deadline: TBA
• Conference: 17 July – 21 July 2023

All deadlines are stated with respect to the Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time zone.

Submissions

Prospective speakers are invited to submit one (or more) of the following:

• Proceedings submission. This consists of a 5-12 page paper. It must provide sufficient evidence of results of genuine interest, in sufficient detail for the program committee to assess the merits of the work. Submissions of work in progress are encouraged, but must be more substantial than a research proposal. Proceedings submissions should be prepared using the EPTCS style files.
• Non-proceedings submission. This consists of a 3 page summary, together with a link to a separate published paper or preprint. If the published paper or preprint is not publicly available (e.g., not open access), then it should be included in full after the summary.
• Poster submission. This consists of a 3 page abstract of partial results or work in progress.
• Programming tool submission. This consists of a 3 page description of a programming tool or framework, with a strong preference for open-source contributions.

Page limits exclude bibliography and appendices (which may be read at the discretion of reviewers). All submissions will be handled by Easychair.

There will be an award for Best Student Paper that will be determined by the Program Committee. Papers eligible for the award are those where all the authors are students at the time of submission.

Presentations

Authors of accepted proceedings and non-proceedings submissions will be invited to give a long or short talk, depending on the quality and maturity of the submission. Authors of accepted poster submissions will be invited to present their work at the poster session. Authors of accepted programming tool submissions will be invited to live demo their tool to conference attendees, at the same time as the poster session.

Conference Proceedings

Conference proceedings will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) after the conference.

Local Information

The conference will take place at Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris, France.

We will update the website with more relevant information at a later time.
