QCNC 2024 provides a forum for academic researchers and industry
practitioners to present research progresses, exchange new ideas, and
identify future directions in the field of Quantum Communications,
Networking, and Computing.



Scope and Objectives:

In recent decades, quantum researchers have made remarkable progress,
propelling
quantum technology into the spotlight for its potential to revolutionize
classical communications, networking, and computing. The inherent
advantages of quantum technology, particularly in terms of security,
privacy, efficiency and scalability, have opened new frontiers in
information technology. Quantum technology has demonstrated its ability to
introduce applications with no equivalent in the classical realm, marking a
breakthrough towards an unimaginable future. The establishment of
connections between the quantum source node and destination node using
quantum hardware and devices facilitates qubit transmissions, which in turn
enables advancements in quantum computing, artificial intelligence and
cryptography and further services and applications. Envisioned as a
transformative force, quantum services are anticipated to span the globe,
leveraging quantum terrestrial components, satellites, airplanes, ships,
and other vehicles. The quantum future holds the promise of nearly
unconditional security, super-computing power, large capacity, even at high
velocity, and heightened privacy.



Our conference welcomes submissions across diverse research areas related
to quantum hardware, communications, networking, computing, cryptography,
artificial intelligence, and their associated systems and applications. The

Three accepted papers will be selected for best paper awards. Selected
papers will be recommended to IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in
Communications (IF: 16.4) and Digital Communications and Networks (IF: 7.9)
for potential fast-track publications.



*Regular Paper Submission Guidelines:*

QCNC 2024 invites submission of manuscripts with original research results
that have not been previously published or posted on public websites, or
are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts
must adhere to the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format (double column,
10pt font, letter paper) and be submitted in the PDF format. Submitted
manuscripts for review should not exceed 8 pages. Upon acceptance, the
camera-ready paper may extend up to 10 pages, subject to an additional fee
per extra page The reviewing process will be *double-blind*, and
submissions shall not reveal authors' names, affiliations, and avoid
obvious self-references. Manuscripts should be submitted to one of the
research tracks. Submissions that do not comply with these guidelines will
be rejected without consideration of their merits. Accepted and presented
papers will be published in the QCNC 2024 Conference Proceedings and be
included in IEEE Xplore.
