SQC 2011 - 2011 IEEE International Workshop on Security and Quantum Communications (IEEE SQC 2011)

The 2011 IEEE International Workshop on Security and Quantum Communications
(IEEE SQC 2011)
In conjunction with
The 10th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications (IEEE TrustCom-11)
November 16-18, 2011, Changsha, China
(http://trust.csu.edu.cn/conference/TrustCom2011/)
Call for Papers
Security and transmission efficiency have become important factors that influence the success of communications. Quantum communications, which can maintain high security of communication systems and make a serious push towards network compatibility, has fascinated many scientists and researchers for developing secure and efficient quantum communication systems. In recent years, new techniques, concepts and applications about quantum communications have been proposed to break the limitation of quantum physics, and the emerging and future technologies are driven by the need for fast quantum random number generators (QRNG), reliable fiber-based quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum repeaters and free space quantum communications. Recently, multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) technique has been widely studied in wireless communications because it can provide significant increases in data throughput and link range without additional bandwidth or transmission power. More researchers have also recognized that MIMO technique can be applied in more communication systems to improve their capacity of transmission. SCQ2011 aims at providing a forum for discussing the latest academic and industrial research results related to security and quantum communications, and MIMO technique in the area of networking and communication systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

l Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Communications
l Quantum Measurement and Quantum Metrology
l Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Theory
l Implementations of Quantum Information Processing
l Applications of Quantum Communications and Networking
l Free-Space Quantum Communication on Earth and Space
l Entanglement as a Resource for Quantum Communications
l Network Protocols and Wireless Networks
l Information Coding and Compressing Techniques
l MIMO and Beam Forming and OFDM
l Parallel and Distributed Computing
Publication
All accepted papers from this workshop will be published by IEEE Computer Society in TrustCom-11 conference/workshop proceedings (indexed by EI Compendex and ISTP). Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be invited for possible publication in special issues of prestige international journals indexed by SCI and EI (pending).
