Communications
(TQICC)
Part of ITNG 2012
9th International Conference on
Information Technology- New Generations
April 16-18, 2012, Las Vegas,
Nevada, USA
(Proceedings to
be published by the IEEE Computer Society-CPS)
Theme:
A
special track on Quantum Information Computing and Communication will be
organized within the ITNG2012. This is the second annual meeting on quality
research oriented papers focusing on the latest
research, and development in
quantum information science. The objective of this special track is to provide
the opportunity for research discussion, and collaborations between scientists,
faculties, graduate students, and researchers.
The Track will
feature the following topics:
1. Quantum Information Theory
2. Quantum Computing
3. Quantum Communications
4. Quantum Cryptography
5. Developing and implementing quantum
information
6. Topological quantum computing
7. Modeling and simulation of quantum
computing
Paper Submission:
Papers must represent
high quality and previously unpublished work, not currently under review by
another conference, workshop, or journal. Your submission should include the
author names, complete mailing addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and the
email addresses of the authors. Interested authors should email a 6-page
summary of their original and unpublished work including 5 keywords in the IEEE
format through https://www.softconf.com/c/itng2012/. You can also email your paper to track chair
with the subject line set as “ITNG 2012/TQICC”.
Evaluation Process:
Papers will be evaluated
for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. Per ITNG policy, except
for invited papers, all papers will be reviewed by at least two independent
reviewers. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings
published by the Conference
Publishing Services-CPS
and available on the IEEE digital library.
Best Student Paper:
The Best Student Paper
will be awarded at the conference. To be eligible, the student must be the sole
author of the paper, or the first author and primary contributor. (The winner
of the award will present the paper in a plenary session at the conference). A
cover letter to the General Chair/Track Chair must identify the paper as a
candidate for this competition at the time of submission.
