Call for Contributions for Workshop on

Quantum Communications and Information Technology (QCIT’16)
===========================================================

http://www-mobile.ecs.soton.ac.uk/events/GC_16_QCIT_CFP.htm

At IEEE Globecom’16, Washington, DC, USA, December, 8. 2016
http://globecom2016.ieee-globecom.org/

The Quantum Communications and Information Technology (QCIT’16) workshop is
dedicated to explore the new opportunities for application of communications
theory and technologies to quantum technology.
Over the last decade, a variety of physical quantum computing devices has been
demonstrated and used for fundamental experiments in laboratories. Results
confirm the feasibility of practical applications in quantum communications
and quantum information processing related fields. Some specific applications,
such as quantum key distribution are already close to the market. However, the
step from a quantum technology based device to a real system carrying out a
communications or information processing task has not been completed at the
time of writing.
Come and join this workshop to connect with people from academia and industry
to discuss and progress all the theory, technology and applications and to
exchange ideas conceived for progressing the engineering and development of
this exciting new field.

Topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- RF technology, components and control
- Coding theory
- Communications and information theory
- Photonic communications technology
- Interconnection and complexity theory
- Error correction
- RF based programming and algorithms
- Modeling and simulation
- Systems architecture
- Optimized algorithms and applications
- Experimental results
- Control instrumentation
- Signal processing

Submission info for camera-ready manuscripts:
Original and unpublished regular papers are solicited from the above-mentioned
areas. Regular papers have a length of 4 to 6 pages with an optional payable
7th page, they get peer reviewed and published in the workshop proceedings and
after presentation in the IEEE Xplore. Templates for the manuscripts can be
downloaded from:
