Introduction
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.
The 2nd IEEE International Symposium on Security and Quantum
Communications (SQC-12) will be held in conjunction with "The 11th
IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in
Computing and Communications (IEEE TrustCom-12)". It follows the
success of SQC-11 in Changsha, China. It aims at bringing together
researchers and practitioners in the world working on theories and
technologies for ubiquitous artifacts to function safely for different
purposes; for ubiquitous systems to work safely in various situations;
and for ubiquitous environments to behave safely with all people.
Scope and Interests
IEEE SQC-12 is an international symposium for presenting and
discussing emerging ideas and trends in aspects of Security and
Quantum Communications, but are not limited to:
(1) Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Communications
(2) Quantum Measurement and Quantum Metrology
(3) Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Theory
(4) Implementations of Quantum Information Processing
(5) Applications of Quantum Communications and Networking
(6) Free-Space Quantum Communication on Earth and Space
(7) Entanglement as a Resource for Quantum Communications
(8) Network Protocols and Wireless Networks
(9) Information Coding and Compressing Techniques
(10) MIMO and OFDM
Submission and Publication Information
The accepted papers from this symposium will be published by IEEE
Computer Society in IEEE TrustCom-12 conference proceedings (indexed
by EI Compendex). Papers should be written in English conforming to
the IEEE conference proceedings format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column).
Papers should be submitted through the paper submission system at the
symposium website. Each paper is limited to 6 pages (or 8 pages with
the over length charge). Distinguished papers, after further
revisions, will be published in special issues indexed by SCI and EI.
Submitting a paper to the symposium means that, if the paper is
accepted, at least one author should attend the symposium and present
the paper.
