This workshop will bring together leading and upcoming international and Australian researchers and research students with an interest in the foundations of quantum theory. We will have a special focus on generalised probabilistic theories and reconstructions from foundational principles, but we also welcome contributions within other topics such as ontological models, nonlocality, contextuality, and fundamental tests. The objective of the meeting is to review current progress in the field and spark new directions for research.

This is the 21st edition of a series of workshops started in the 90s within a European project aimed at collaborating with Central-European countries. Since then, it has evolved into an important annual gathering of European researchers working in the field including the participants coming from around the world. The locations of the conference now go well beyond Central Europe, although the name has remained.
The purpose of our workshop is to present and discuss recent developments in the overlap area between quantum information and foundations of quantum mechanics. The workshop is centered around, but not limited to, the following topics:
* Quantum logic beyond Birkhoff and von Neumann
* Contextuality and non-locality of quantum mechanics
* Measurement-based quantum computation
* Quantum mechanics and category theory
* QM foundations and cryptography
Contributed talks and posters are invited. Registration and submission will open in February 2013.

Adiabatic Quantum Computing (AQC) promises to be robust to many noise sources that cause ordinary quantum circuits to fail, including environmental decoherence and imperfect control. While any quantum algorithm can be run on a universal adiabatic quantum computer in principle, combinatorial optimisation problems appear to be the most natural for near-term devices. Understanding the landscape of AQC architectures and algorithms, and methods for realising them, continues to be an active and vibrant research area.
