*Subject:* TQC 2019 Call for Submissions

Dear Colleague,

The TQC conference is going into its 14th year and will be held at the
University of Maryland, June 3-5, 2019. Please consider the call for papers
below and circulate it among your colleagues and students.

We have introduced an Outstanding Paper Prize in the Conference Track (talk
+ proceedings) of TQC 2019; all submissions made to this track are eligible
for the Prize.

This year, TQC will be followed by a Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum
Technologies Workshop, taking place June 6-7.

Best wishes,

Laura Mančinska and Wim van Dam (TQC PC chair and co-chair)

Gorjan Alagic and Aarthi Sundaram (TQC local co-chairs)

                          CALL FOR PAPERS

The 14th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication,
and Cryptography

                        ---- TQC 2019 ----

       Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science

                       University of Maryland,

                          College Park, USA

                            June 3-5, 2019

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

This is the fourteenth 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:  February 8, 2019

    * Decision notification:  March 24, 2019

    * Final manuscript deadline:  April 5, 2019

    * Late-Poster submission deadline:  April 26, 2019

    * Late-Poster decision notification:  May 6, 2019

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 already published material.

Submission format: Submission should consist of a 3-4 page extended
abstract 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 below 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.

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

All submissions for talks or posters must be made electronically through
the online submission system EasyChair:
easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tqc2019

Please direct any questions or comments to the PC chair at
tqc2019 at easychair.org
