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 knowhow 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.
