Just a reminder:

 QIP 2020 Student Travel Grants are open for application for both US-based
and non-US-based students.  The deadline is *AOE, November 4th, 2019*.
Please follow the instruction (

*(1) QIP 2020 Student Travel Grants *

Thanks to the generous support of local organizers/sponsors and the US
National Science Foundation, there will be a substantial amount of travel
supports for (both US-based and non-US-based)  students to attend QIP 2020
at Shenzhen, China (http://www.szpclab.com/qip2020) .

Anyone who is interested should submit the application according to the
instruction (http://www.szpclab.com/qip2020#/studentSupport) by *AoE
November 4th, 2019*.

*(2) PLanQC 2020: Programming Languages and Quantum Computing*

Call for Submissions

We invite members of the programming languages (PL) and quantum computing
(QC) communities to submit talk proposals for the First International
Workshop on Programming Languages for Quantum Computing (PLanQC 2020),
co-located with POPL 2020 in New Orleans in January, 2020.

PLanQC aims to bring together researchers from the fields of programming
languages and quantum information, exposing the programming languages
community to the unique challenges of programming quantum computers. It
will promote the development of tools to assist in the process of
programming quantum computers, as they exist today and as they are likely
to exist in the near to distant future.

Submissions to PLanQC should take the form of 2-4 page abstracts, with
links to larger preprints when appropriate (work-in-progress is welcome).
We hope to make PLanQC maximally accessible to the programming languages
community. Thus, abstracts should cover cutting edge ideas and results, but
not be opaque to new, potential entrants to QC coming from PL. Abstracts
will be reviewed for quality and relevance to the workshop, and accepted
authors will be invited to give talks or poster presentations. We will not
be publishing formal proceedings, but the extended abstracts, along with
links (where available) to full papers will be posted to the workshop’s
website.

Invited speakers:
Jennifer Paykin, Galois Inc — Quantum Computing for PL Researchers
Peter Selinger, Dalhousie University — Quantum Programming Languages
Fred Chong, University of Chicago — Quantum Compilation
Bettina Heim, Microsoft Research — The Q# Language

Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):
        •       High-level quantum programming languages
        •       Verification tools for quantum programs
        •       Novel quantum programming abstractions
        •       Quantum circuit optimizations
        •       Error handling, mitigation, and correction
        •       Instruction sets for quantum hardware
        •       Other techniques from traditional programming languages
(e.g., types, compilation/optimization, foreign function interfaces)
applied to the domain of quantum computation.

Important dates (anywhere on earth):
