Singapore, 10-14 September<\/p>\n
2nd Annual Conference on Quantum Cryptography<\/p>\n
Conference Website: http:\/\/www.qcrypt.net
\nPaper Submission (deadline 20 May):
\nhttps:\/\/www.easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=qcrypt2012<\/p>\n
Quantum cryptography aims to achieve security from fundamental
\nphysical principles, such as the quantum mechanical phenomena of
\nentanglement and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. In the last few
\nyears significant progress has been made in the theoretical
\nunderstanding of quantum cryptography and its technological
\nfeasibility has been demonstrated experimentally. Quantum cryptography
\nis therefore regarded as one of the most promising candidates for a
\nfuture quantum technology.<\/p>\n
QCRYPT is a new conference series on Quantum Cryptography. The first
\nevent took place at ETH Zurich September 2011, and was a resounding
\nsuccess with nearly 140 participants both from theoretical and
\nexperimental research groups, making it the largest conferences in
\nthis area. The second event will take place at the National University
\nof Singapore.<\/p>\n
QCRYPT is followed by the satellite workshop Japan-Singapore Workshop
\non multi-user quantum networks, 17th-20th September 2012, CQT
\nSingapore, organized by Masahito Hayashi and Andreas Winter.<\/p>\n
Conference format<\/p>\n
QCRYPT features invited talks, contributed talks, and a poster
\nsession. In addition, we will also have a select series of focus
\ntutorials this year to ease interaction between theory and experiment.
\nAs last year, there will also be an industry panel session.<\/p>\n
Important dates<\/p>\n
Paper submission deadline: 20 May (23:59 SST, ie in american samoa)
\nNotification of acceptance: 6 July<\/p>\n
Poster submission deadline: 1 August<\/p>\n
Submission information<\/p>\n
Submissions of abstracts for contributed papers are sought in both
\ntheoretical as well as experimental quantum cryptography and related
\nfields. We encourage submissions from related areas such as
\nnon-locality and information theory. The submission to QCRYPT should
\nconsist of 2-3 pages, containing a non-technical, clear and insightful
\ndescription of the results and main ideas, their impact, and their
\nimportance to quantum cryptography. For theoretical work, the
\nsubmission should direct the reader to a technical version of the work
\n(this should preferably be online but otherwise can be provided as an
\nattachment). The submission should not consist of a compressed version
\nof the technical exposition of the paper, but instead should
\nfacilitate the reading of the technical version and help the program
\ncommittee assess its importance.<\/p>\n
The 2-3 page abstracts of the accepted contributed papers will be
\nposted on the QCRYPT 2012 website. There are no proceedings, and
\nsimultaneous submission to other workshops, conferences or journals is
\npossible.<\/p>\n
