QIP 2020 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The Conference on Quantum Information Processing (QIP) is the premier
annual meeting for theoretical quantum information research. Since the
first meeting in Aarhus, Denmark in 1998, the conference has featured
breakthroughs by leaders in the disciplines of computing, cryptography,
information theory, mathematics, and physics. The scientific objective of
the series is to gather the theoretical quantum information community to
present and discuss the latest groundbreaking work in the field. Most
recently, QIP 2019 was held in Boulder, USA.

QIP 2020 is the 23rd Annual Conference on Quantum Information Processing
and will be held at the Hilton Shenzhen Shekou Nanhai Hotel in Shenzhen,
China, hosted by the Shenzhen Institute for Quantum Science and
Engineering at the Southern University of Science and Technology and by
the Center for Quantum Computing at the Peng Cheng Laboratory. QIP 2020
will feature a tutorial program, plenary talks, contributed talks, and a
poster session. More information can be found at the conference website
(http://www.szpclab.com/qip2020).

We invite contributions, both for talks and posters, on outstanding recent
research in the theory of quantum information and computation. A QIP Best
Student Paper prize will be awarded. QIP 2020 will feature parallel tracks
on each day of the conference.

Important dates

Talk submission deadline: Sunday, 15 September 2019 at 23:59
Anywhere-on-Earth (AoE) Poster-only submission deadline: Sunday, 13
October 2019 at 23:59 Anywhere-on-Earth (AoE) Notification (for both talks
and posters): Sunday, 27 October 2019

Submission instructions

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

Contributed talks at QIP are intended to be representative of outstanding
recent research contributions to the theory of quantum information and
computation. In addition to a title and a short abstract (for the
conference website in case of acceptance), each submission to QIP for a
talk should consist of two components:

Extended Abstract: This should be 1 to 3 pages in length and contain a
nontechnical, clear, and insightful description of the results and main
ideas, their potential impact, and their importance to quantum information
and computation. Extended abstracts should not be a compressed version of
a full paper, but instead should facilitate an intuitive understanding of
the research results that they represent and help the program committee
assess their importance. Extended abstracts should be in PDF format, and
typeset in single-column form with reasonable margins and font size at
least 11 points. The 3-page maximum does not include references.

Technical Manuscript: This is a full paper describing the work, including
technical details. This manuscript may be from an on-line repository, such
as arXiv; however, a PDF copy of it must be uploaded. If your submission
consists of multiple technical papers they should be merged into a single
file.

The Program Committee reserves the right to decide how to treat
submissions that deviate from the above format, including rejection of
submissions solely on the basis of their format.

Best student paper prize

A submission is eligible for the Best Student Paper prize if and only if
the main author(s) is/are a student(s) at the time of the submission and
will present the work at QIP, and further a significant portion of the
work (at least 60%) has been done by said student(s), including the
majority of the key ideas. Eligibility can only be indicated at the time
of submission. All authors are notified if their paper has been labelled
as eligible for the student prize, and have 14 days following submission
to voice any disagreements about the paper's nomination to the PC chair.
The PC chair is free to ask for any clarifications regarding the students'
contributions at any time.

Instructions for poster-only submissions

Poster submissions should be made using the same link as talk submissions.
For poster-only submissions, only a title and abstract are required (i.e.,
an extended abstract is not needed). A technical manuscript can be
attached. Please indicate in the required field "speaker" the person that
will present the poster at the conference.

EasyChair instructions

Go to https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=qip2020 to create a
submission. After logging in (or creating an account if you have not used
EasyChair before), select the appropriate track (talk or poster-only) and
follow the instructions. Please check the box for Best Student Paper Prize
only if all co-authors of this submission are aware of the eligibility
criteria of the prize and actually support the choice. You may update or
withdraw submissions up until the deadline; only the latest version will
be reviewed. Submissions will be automatically closed immediately after
the deadline, so early submissions are encouraged.

Questions

Please direct any questions or comments to the PC chair at
qip2020 at easychair.org.
