Resumen de Special issue on quantum programming languages

Peter Selinger

• This special issue of Mathematical Structures in Computer Science grew out of the 2nd International Workshop on Quantum Programming Languages (QPL 2004), which was held July 12¿13, 2004 in Turku, Finland. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together researchers working on mathematical formalisms and programming languages for quantum computing. It was the second in a series of workshops aimed at addressing a growing interest in logical tools, languages, and semantical methods for analysing quantum computation.
