Description

Quantum communications and networks enable the exchange of quantum information between remote quantum devices. We invite submissions of original research papers that make significant contributions to the theoretical and practical aspects of quantum communications and networks. We also encourage submissions that address novel ideas, challenges, and applications in these areas, as well as interdisciplinary works that bridge the gap with other fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, architectures, protocols, communication technologies, applications, simulation tools, and practical experiments.

Please submit papers on quantum cryptography, QKD and QKD networks to Track 3 “Security in the Quantum Age”.
