*Call for submissions
Special issue of Mathematical Structures in Computer Science, Cambridge
University Press, on Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Cryptography*
Dear Professor Aspuru-Guzik,
It is indeed a pleasure to get in touch with you again. The purpose of this
e-mail is to share with you that I am currently handling as guest editor a
special issue on quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography of the journal
Mathematical Structures in Computer Science (MSCS), Cambridge University
Press.
MSCS is a journal of theoretical computer science which focuses on the
application of ideas from the structural side of mathematics and
mathematical logic to computer science. The journal publishes original
papers of a high standard and broad surveys with original perspectives in
all areas of computing, provided that ideas or results from logic, algebra,
geometry, category theory or other areas of logic and mathematics form a
basis for the work.
MSCS welcomes applications to computing based on the use of specific
mathematical structures as well as on proof-theoretic notions or results.
The journal will also accept contributions in new interdisciplinary fields
bridging computer science, quantum physics, mathematics and information
theory. In particular, papers on quantum information processing and
communication are welcomed. More information on MSCS can be found in
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=MSC
Our goal for this special issue is to publish a selected collection of
papers on quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography with a strong
mathematical flavor. We particularly welcome articles on quantum algorithms
(design, computability, computational speedup, and the potential
computational impact of decoherence), languages for quantum computers,
mathematical formulation and simulation of quantum cryptography protocols,
mathematical properties of the simulation of quantum algorithms/computers on
classical computers, and the design and simulation of Hamiltonians employed
in the development of quantum algorithms and quantum simulation of quantum
systems.
The purpose of this e-mail is to invite you and your group members to submit
a paper presenting original and unpublished research results. Publishing
policies for MSCS can be found on the link
http://assets.cambridge.org/MSC/MSC_ifc.pdf (note that, since MCSC is an
online journal, there is no limit on the number of pages per article.)
- All submissions must be made through the online submission system by 1
July, 2009 at the following link:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qcmscs2009
- All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed, be judged by at least two
referees on technical merit, and be handled by the editor in charge of the
issue. Notification of Acceptance/Rejection will be made in November 2009.
- Authors should revise their papers within one month of acceptance. Thus,
revised and final version of your manuscript(s) should be submitted online
in December 2009.
Please do feel free to contact me and/or Professor Giuseppe Longo (
Giuseppe.Longo(a)ens.fr), Editor-in-chief of MSCS, if further information is
needed.
Cordially yours,
Salvador Venegas-Andraca, DPhil (Oxon)
