[Haskell-cafe] Postdoc ad: quantum-computing programming languages

[Francesco Occhipinti]

It is amazing to see this coming. Philip Wadler uses to say that λ-calculus
is "Multiversal" ... I guess that with the paradigm shift brought by
quantum computing we will have an opportunity to verify the statement!
