CALL FOR PAPERS

The 15th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication,
and Cryptography

---- TQC 2020 ----

University of Latvia,

Riga, Latvia

June 9--12, 2020

www.tqcconference.org

tqc2020.lu.lv

=======================================================

This is the fifteenth in a series of conferences that aims to bring
together the leading researchers in the areas of quantum computation,
quantum communication and quantum cryptography. TQC covers all theoretical
aspects of quantum information.

Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

* quantum algorithms

* models of quantum computation

* quantum complexity theory

* simulation of quantum systems

* quantum cryptography

* quantum communication

* quantum information theory

* quantum estimation and measurement

* intersection of quantum information and condensed-matter theory

* quantum coding theory

* fault-tolerant quantum computing

* entanglement theory

Important dates (AoE, anywhere on earth):

* Paper/Talk/Early-Poster submission deadline: February 15, 2020

* Decision notification: March 30, 2020

* Final manuscript deadline: April 17, 2020

* Late-Poster submission deadline: April 24, 2020

* Late-Poster decision notification: May 8, 2020

Two tracks: Conference (talk + proceedings) and Workshop (talk only). As
the goal of TQC is to bring together researchers on all aspects of quantum
information, submissions are solicited for two tracks:

-------------------------------------------------------

* CONFERENCE TRACK (talk + proceedings): Submissions to this track must be
original papers that have not previously appeared in published form.
Accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference and will appear
in the conference proceedings. The PC will target a minimum of 10 articles
to be published in the proceedings and therefore the acceptance rates could
differ between the two tracks.

Submission format: The length of the submission must be at most 15 pages
excluding bibliography and appendices. The text must be in a single column
format, use at least 11-point fonts, and have reasonable margins. The
submission should begin with a title, a list of authors, and a short
abstract. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper
at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Submissions should be
in PDF format.

-------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------

* WORKSHOP TRACK (talk only): We solicit submissions for talk-only papers;
accepted submissions will be presented orally at the conference but will
not appear in the proceedings. This track allows authors to publish their
work elsewhere and accepts previously published material. Previously
published submissions must still be current to be competitive for
acceptance.

Submission format: Submission should consist of a 3-4 page extended
abstract (including references) and a technical version, both with at least
11-point fonts and reasonable margins. The extended abstract should contain
a non-technical, clear and insightful description of the main ideas,
results, and their impact. The technical version will be considered only at
the discretion of the program committee. Both the abstract and the
technical version should be uploaded as a single PDF file. If the work
corresponding to the submission is published, has been submitted elsewhere,
or appears on arXiv, then it should be indicated on the first page of the
submission.

-------------------------------------------------------

Depending on submissions received, preference may be given to submissions
to the Conference Track. In recent years the overall acceptance rate for
all papers submitted to TQC has been approximately 25%. One of the
Conference Track submissions will be selected for an OUTSTANDING PAPER
PRIZE.

We also solicit poster-only submissions:

-------------------------------------------------------

* POSTER: Submissions must either consist of a short summary (2-3 pages) of
the work, or follow the guidelines from either of the tracks above. If the
work corresponding to the submission is published, has been submitted
elsewhere, or appears on arXiv, then it should be indicated on the first
page of the submission. Talk submissions that are not retained will
automatically be considered for the poster session. Authors of poster
submissions made before the Early-Poster submission deadline will be
notified by the Decision notification date. A Late-Poster round allows for
much later submissions (and notification) for posters only.

-------------------------------------------------------

This year, TQC will experiment with partial open reviews for accepted
papers only:

-------------------------------------------------------

* OPEN REVIEW POLICY: For papers that are accepted to TQC, we will post the
anonymous referee reports on the website SciRate.com with the arXiv version
of the accepted paper. These will be posted shortly after the conference to
ensure that most accepted papers have appeared on the arXiv. These reports
will be edited for content by the PC before being posted and will be signed
by the PC as a whole, but they might not include the entire PC discussion.
This style of partial open review was done previously for TQC 2014, and the
reviews can be read here:

https://scirate.com/tqc-2014-program-committee.

No reviews will be posted for posters or for papers that are rejected. Note
that SciRate has open commenting, so this will also give authors of
accepted papers an opportunity to address all the comments provided by the
referees if they so choose. One of the main purposes of publishing reviews
in this way is to help create a resource for quantum information that is
similar to the AMS's MathSciNet.

-------------------------------------------------------

All submissions for talks or posters must be made electronically through
the online submission system EasyChair:
