SQC 2013 - 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Security and Quantum Communications (IEEE SQC-13)

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. SQC2013 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 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Security and Quantum Communications (SQC-13) will be held in conjunction with "The 12th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications (IEEE TrustCom-12)". It follows the success of SQC-12 in Liverpool, UK. 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.
