The purpose of the workshop is to discuss in a small setting the recent advances in our understanding of quantum computation through algebraic methods. Topics include

• Quantum algorithms

• Generalized stabilizer formalisms and discrete Wigner functions

• Symmetry-protected topological order and computational phases of quantum matter

• Contextuality and Bell-nonlocality

• Quantum error-correction

• Models of quantum computation

• Mathematical methods: Group theory, cohomology and number theory
