S11: Symposium on Quantum Computing and Communications in Future Networks

SYMPOSIUM ORGANIZERS

• Winston Seah, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
• Yuan Cao, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications (NJUPT), China

SCOPE AND MOTIVATION

The world was transformed by the Internet which has become the backbone of our society, from a mere carrier of information to becoming the source of information, applications, and services. We are about to experience yet another revolution, the “quantum revolution”. In recent years, quantum computing and communications have made significant theoretical and experimental progress. Quantum technologies are envisaged to be integrated with our networks and the integration of quantum communication with classical communication networks, multi-bit operation, and computing power of quantum computers will demonstrate the potential application prospects of quantum information science in our future networks. However, the quantum internet design requires a major paradigm shift for harnessing the peculiarities of quantum mechanics. This symposium seeks high-quality technical articles from both industry and academia to address open research challenges and provide innovative solutions for the application of quantum computing and communications in future networks.
