The sixth workshop on
Quantum Communications and Information Technology (QCIT’20)
http://qcit.committees.comsoc.org/

At IEEE Globecom’20, Taipei, Taiwan, 7-11 December 2020
http://globecom2020.ieee-globecom.org

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

Scope of the workshop: Recent experimental results confirm feasibility of real applications in quantum communications, computing, security, and sensing. Companies and governments started to invest significant amounts of funding in research and development of quantum technologies. These developments are offering numerous opportunities to contribute to the research and engineering aspects of quantum technologies.
On the scientific side, the workshop also addresses novel ideas in the fields of quantum communications and information processing, which contribute to the general know-how of quantum technologies.

The following topics are key to the workshop, but not exclusive:
- Quantum communications
- Entanglement distillation & swapping
- Quantum state discrimination
- Quantum sensing & metrology
- Quantum coding theory
- Homomorphic applications
- Quantum networks
- Quantum algorithms
- Error Correction for quantum systems
- Interconnection and complexity theory
- Modeling and simulation
- Optimized algorithms and applications
- Quantum eco-system
- Other topics related to quantum communications and information processing
