Dear All

This is a reminder to the TQC 2021 paper submission. It will be due on
March 15, 2021 (anywhere on earth). The submission information can be found
in the following call for papers. Thank you.

---- TQC 2021 Call for Papers

The 16th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication,
and Cryptography (TQC 2021)

University of Latvia,
Riga, Latvia
July 5–8, 2021

www.tqcconference.org
www.tqc2021.lu.lv

This is the sixteenth in a series of conferences that aims to bring
together the leading researchers in the areas of quantum computation,
quantum communication and quantum cryptography.
COVID-19 note: Due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, TQC 2021 will be
held as a virtual conference. Talks will be scheduled during Latvian
business hours (GMT+2).

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
quantum machine learning

We have confirmed four invited speakers for TQC 2021:

Scott Aaronson (UT Austin)
Srinivasan Arunachalam (IBM T. J. Watson Research Center)
Kai-Min Chung (Academia Sinica)
Cécilia Lancien (Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse and CNRS)

Important dates (AoE, anywhere on earth):

Paper/Talk/Early-Poster submission deadline: March 15, 2020
Decision notification: April 30, 2020
Final manuscript deadline: May 17, 2020
Late-Poster submission deadline: May 24, 2020
Late-Poster decision notification: June 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  (published in the well known open-access
LIPIcs–Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics series). 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 main text must be at most 10 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 page extended abstract
(excluding 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 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.

All submissions for talks or posters must be made electronically through
the online submission system EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tqc2021
