Dear colleague, The TQC conference is going into its 12th year and will be held in Paris, France during June 14th to 16th, 2017. Please consider the call for papers below and circulate among your colleagues and students. Best wishes, Mark M. Wilde (program committee chair) Damian Markham (local organizing committee chair) ======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS The 12th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication, and Cryptography ---- TQC 2017 ---- Paris Centre for Quantum Computing Université Pierre et Marie Curie Paris, France June 14-16, 2017 ======================================================================= This is the twelfth in a series of conferences that aims to bring together the leading researchers in the areas of quantum computation, quantum communication and quantum cryptography. TQC covers all theoretical aspects of quantum information. Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to: * quantum algorithms * models of quantum computation * quantum complexity theory * simulation of quantum systems * quantum cryptography * quantum communication * quantum information theory * quantum estimation and measurement * intersection of quantum information and condensed-matter theory * quantum coding theory * fault-tolerant quantum computing * entanglement theory Important dates: * Paper/Talk/Early-Poster submission deadline: March 10, 2017 * Decision notification: April 14, 2017 * Final manuscript deadline: April 28, 2017 * Late-Poster submission deadline: May 8, 2017 * Conference: June 14-16, 2017 Two tracks: Conference(talk + proceedings) and Workshop(talk only). As the goal of TQC is to bring together researchers on all aspects of quantum information, submissions are solicited for two tracks: * Conference(talk + proceedings): Submissions to this track must be original papers that have not previously appeared in published form. Accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference and will appear in the conference proceedings. The proceedings will be published by the OpenAccess LIPIcs (Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics). * Workshop(talk only): We solicit submissions for talk-only papers; accepted submissions will be presented orally at the conference but will not appear in the proceedings. This track allows authors to publish their work elsewhere and accepts already published material.
