                                      CALL FOR PAPERS

       The 13th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation,
                           Communication, and Cryptography
                                          ---- TQC 2018 ----

                    Centre for Quantum Software and Information
                              University of Technology Sydney
                                           Sydney, Australia
                                           July 16-18, 2018

                For further information, please see www.tqc2018.org.

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

This is the thirteenth 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:

    * Paper/Talk/Early-Poster submission deadline:  March 20, 2018
    * Decision notification:  May 10, 2018
    * Final manuscript deadline:  May 24, 2018
    * Late-Poster submission deadline:  June 8, 2018
    * Conference:  July 16-18, 2018

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 (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.

  * Workshop (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 already published material.

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 around 25%.

In addition to TQC, QSI is also hosting a satellite workshop on Quantum
Software and Machine Learning immediately following it, July 19-20. The
scope of the satellite workshop will include the following: (1) quantum
software and programming environments; (2) the application of quantum
algorithms to solve problems in machine learning; (3) the application of
machine learning algorithms to currently challenging and unsolved problems
in quantum information and many-body physics problems; and (4) the
application of ideas in condensed matter physics and quantum computation to
solve and understand problems in machine learning and artificial
intelligence.
