Call for Papers

Quantum communication researchers have achieved significant progress during
the recent decades and quantum networking has shown promise in terms of
improving the overall functional benefits of the Internet and enabling
applications with no counterpart in the classical world. It is a
breakthrough technology towards the unimaginable future. In a quantum
network, the source and destination may be connected
by quantum repeaters/routers for facilitating qubit transmissions.
The quantum network of the future is envisaged to pervade the entire globe,
relying on terrestrial components, satellites, airplanes, ships and other
vehicles. It is anticipated that it will support nearly unconditional
security, super-computing power, large network capacity – even at high
velocity - and privacy.
In the current era, quantum networks are similar to the early stage of the
classical Internet in the 1970s. However, they exhibit fundamentally
different features, obeying the uncertainty principle, the non-orthogonal
indistinguishable theorem, the quantum non-cloning theorem, entanglement
and superposition. These constraining features make the design
of quantum networks a challenging task. To make the promise
of quantum networking a reality, the entire protocol stack spanning from
the physical-layer enabling techniques to the application layer requires a
dedicated collaborative effort from a large fraction of the engineering and
physics community.
This series focuses on recent advances
in quantum communications and networking, and we seek original
contributions in quantum networking architectures, concepts, protocols, and
technologies in support of long-distance qubit transmissions and novel
network applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Quantum communication and networking applications
• Quantum internet architectures, protocols, and design principles
• Intelligent quantum communication networks
• Entanglement generation, scheduling, and distribution
• Quantum information theory and communication protocol
• Quantum memory and repeater design
• Quantum routing metrics and new routing algorithms
• Congestion control and resource allocation for quantum networks
• Quantum data plane and quantum control plane design
• Security, privacy, and trust in the context of quantum networks
• Quantum network management
• Simulators, testbeds, prototypes, implementations, and field experiments
• Verification of the existing knowledge in real quantum networks
• Performance evaluation and modeling
• Migration from classical networks to quantum networks
