As quantum computers become more practical, there is a rich opportunity to advance the development of tools to assist in the process of programming them, both now and in the future. To encourage more PL-minded researchers to work in this exciting new area, we established the Workshop on Programming Languages for Quantum Computing (PLanQC).
The usage of the term program verification has expanded well beyond its original meaning. As research in this space advances and expands, is it time to reconsider the term?
Program synthesis addresses an age-old problem in computer science: can a computer program itself? This post surveys the growing evolution of work in this exciting area.
*Secure compilation* is an emerging field that puts together advances in programming languages, security, compilers, systems, formal verification, and hardware architectures. It aims to devise compilation chains that eliminate many of today’s security attacks, without sacrificing efficiency, and allowing sound reasoning about security properties in the source language.
