                  The fifth Workshop on
Quantum Communications and Information Technology (QCIT’19)
            http://qcit.committees.comsoc.org/

At IEEE Globecom’19, Waikoloa, HI, USA, 9-13 December 2019

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

The scope of this dedicated workshop is to explore the opportunities for
application of communications theory and technologies to quantum technology
and investigate novel applications. The workshop is the annual main event
of ComSoc’s Emerging Technical Committee on Quantum Communications and
Information Technology (ETC-QCIT).
Over the last decade, a wide variety of experimental quantum communications
and processing devices has been invented and used for fundamental
demonstrations in laboratories. Results confirm feasibility of real
applications in fields such as quantum communications, information
processing and sensing. Recently one can observe novel applications on
quantum key distribution, quantum sensors and random number generators
which are partially even commercially available. Companies and governments
started to invest significant amounts of funding in research and
development of quantum technologies. This started to transfer know-how from
quantum technology-based research to applications. These developments are
offering numerous opportunities to contribute within research, theory,
applied technologies and engineering. The following topics are crucial, but
not exclusive, to the development of future quantum technology systems and
its applications:
- Coding theory
- Communications and information theory
- Entanglement distillation
- Error correction
- Experimental results and demonstrations
- Interconnection and complexity theory
- Modeling and simulation
- Network coding
- Optimized algorithms and applications
- Photonic communications technology
- Quantum information theory
- Quantum key distribution
- Quantum networks
- Quantum-algorithms and applications
- Remote state preparation
- RF based programming and algorithms
- RF technology and control
- Signal processing and architecture
- Systems architecture

It is the aim of this workshop to connect people from academia and industry
to discuss about theory, technology and applications and exchange ideas to
move efficiently forward in the engineering and development in this
exciting area.

Submission info for camera-ready manuscripts:
Original and unpublished regular papers are solicited from the
above-mentioned areas. Regular papers have a length of 4 to 6 pages with an
optional payable 7th page. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed and
published in the workshop proceedings and after presentation in IEEE
Xplore. Templates for the manuscripts can be downloaded from:
