[We apologize if you receive this announcement multiple times]



4th International Conference on Quantum Cryptography (QCrypt 2014)



Paris, France, September 1-5, 2014



Conference website: http://2014.qcrypt.net



Quantum cryptography aims to achieve security from fundamental physical
principles, such as the quantum mechanical phenomena of entanglement and
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. In the last few years, significant
progress has been made in the theoretical understanding of quantum
cryptography, and its technological feasibility has been demonstrated
experimentally. Quantum cryptography is therefore regarded as one of the
most promising candidates for a future quantum technology.



QCrypt is an international conference series on quantum cryptography. The
first three conferences took place at ETH Zurich in September 2011, at the
National University of Singapore in September 2012 and at IQC in Waterloo
in August 2013.



QCrypt 2014 will take place at Telecom ParisTech in Paris, France,
September 1-5.



QCrypt features invited talks, contributed talks, and a poster session.
In addition, we will also have a select series of focused tutorials and
an industry panel session.



*Important dates*

April 28, 2014: deadline for submission of paper abstracts

June 16, 2014: notification of acceptance

June 23, 2014: deadline for submission of poster abstracts

September 1-5: conference



*Submission information*

Submissions of abstracts for contributed papers are sought in
both theoretical as well as experimental quantum cryptography and
related fields. We encourage submissions from related areas such as
non-locality and information theory. The submission to QCrypt should
consist of 2-3 pages in PDF format, containing a non-technical, clear and
insightful description of the results and main ideas, their impact, and
their importance to quantum cryptography. For theoretical work, the
submission should direct the reader to a technical version of the work
(this should preferably be online but otherwise can be provided as an
attachment). The submission should not consist of a compressed version of
the technical exposition of the paper, but instead should facilitate the
reading of the technical version and help the program committee assess its
importance. There are no proceedings, thus simultaneous submission to other
workshops, conferences or journals is possible.



For poster submissions, a one-page non-technical PDF abstract is required.



Submissions this year will be managed by the EasyChair system.

When filling the submission form, please indicate whether your submission
is intended for:



- oral or poster contribution,

- oral contribution only,

- poster contribution only
