<br>
The 11th workshop on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL) will take place<br>
at Kyoto University, Japan, from 4th to 6th, JUNE 2014.<br>
<br>
This workshop will bring together researchers working on mathematical<br>
foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing and spatio-temporal<br>
causal structures, and in particular those that use logical tools,<br>
ordered algebraic and category-theoretic structures, formal languages,<br>
semantical methods and other computer science methods for the study of<br>
physical behaviour in general.<br>
<br>
Previous QPL events were held in Ottawa (2003), Turku (2004), Chicago<br>
(2005), Oxford (2006),Reykjavik (2008), Oxford (2009), Oxford (2010),<br>
Nijmegen (2011), Brussels (2012) and Barcelona (2013).<br>

SUBMISSIONS<br>
<br>
Prospective speakers are invited to submit a contribution to the workshop.<br>
<br>
- *Short contributions* consist of a 3 page description of the work,<br>
and a link to a paper published elsewhere.<br>
<br>
- Longer *original contributions* consist of a 5-12 page extended<br>
abstract which provides sufficient evidence of results of genuine<br>
interest and provides sufficient detail to allow the program<br>
committee to assess the merits of the work. Submissions of works in<br>
progress are encouraged but must be more substantial than a<br>
research proposal.<br>
<br>
Extended versions of accepted original research contributions will be<br>
published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science<br>
(EPTCS) after the workshop. Selected contributions will further be<br>
invited to a special issue in the journal New Generation Computing.<br>
<br>
Submissions should be prepared using LaTeX (use of the EPTCS style is<br>
encouraged), and must be submitted in PDF format. Submission is done<br>
via EasyChair: <a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpl2014" target="_blank">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qpl2014</a><br>

TRAVEL SUPPORT<br>
<br>
We encourage participation by graduate students. Students will pay a<br>
reduced registration fee. We will also provide limited financial<br>
support to students for travel and accommodations (non-students can<br>
also apply but priority is given to students). Further information is<br>
found on the workshop website.<br>
