Submission Guidelines

QCNC 2024 invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or posted on public websites, or are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts must adhere to the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format (double column, 10pt font, letter paper) and be submitted in the PDF format. Submitted manuscripts for review should not exceed 8 pages. Upon acceptance, the camera-ready paper may extend up to 10 pages, subject to an additional fee per extra page The reviewing process will be double-blind, and submissions shall not reveal authors' names, affiliations, and avoid obvious self-references. Manuscripts should be submitted to one of the research tracks. Submissions that do not comply with these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the QCNC 2024 Conference Proceedings and be included in IEEE Xplore.

Manuscript templates can be found here. All submissions to QCNC 2024 must be uploaded to Easychair.

List of Topics

In recent decades, quantum researchers have made remarkable progress, propelling quantum technology into the spotlight for its potential to revolutionize classical communications, networking, and computing. The inherent advantages of quantum technology, particularly in terms of security, privacy, efficiency and scalability, have opened new frontiers in information technology. Quantum technology has demonstrated its ability to introduce applications with no equivalent in the classical realm, marking a breakthrough towards an unimaginable future. The establishment of connections between the quantum source node and destination node using quantum hardware and devices facilitates qubit transmissions, which in turn enables advancements in quantum computing, artificial intelligence and cryptography and further services and applications. Envisioned as a transformative force, quantum services are anticipated to span the globe, leveraging quantum terrestrial components, satellites, airplanes, ships, and other vehicles. The quantum future holds the promise of nearly unconditional security, super-computing power, large capacity, even at high velocity, and heightened privacy.

Our conference welcomes submissions across diverse research areas related to quantum hardware, communications, networking, computing, cryptography, artificial intelligence, and their associated systems and applications. The topics of interests are covered by the following tracks:

Track 1: Quantum Hardware and Devices

Track 2: Quantum Information Networks

Track 3: Quantum Computing

Track 4: Security in the Quantum Age

Track 5: Quantum Key Distribution and Quantum Cryptography

Track 6: Quantum Services and Applications

Track 7: Quantum Theories and Experiments
