Introduction

Security and transmission efficiency have become important factors that 
influence the success of communications. Quantum communications, which can 
maintain high security of communication systems and make a serious push towards 
network compatibility, has fascinated many scientists and researchers for 
developing secure and efficient quantum communication systems. In recent years, 
new techniques, concepts and applications about quantum communications have 
been proposed to break the limitation of quantum physics, and the emerging and 
future technologies are driven by the need for fast quantum random number 
generators (QRNG), reliable fiber-based quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum 
repeaters and free space quantum communications. Recently, multiple-Input and 
Multiple-Output (MIMO) technique has been widely studied in wireless 
communications because it can provide significant increases in data throughput 
and link range without additional bandwidth or transmission power. More 
researcher
 s have also recognized that MIMO technique can be applied in more 
communication systems to improve their capacity of transmission. SQC 2013 aims 
at providing a forum for discussing the latest academic and industrial research 
results related to security and quantum communications, and MIMO technique in 
the area of networking and communication systems.

The 3rd International Symposium on Security and Quantum Communications (SQC-13) 
will be held in conjunction with "The 5th International Symposium on Cyberspace 
Safety and Security (CSS 2013)". It follows the success of SQC-12 in Liverpool, 
UK. It aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world 
working on theories and technologies for ubiquitous artifacts to function 
safely for different purposes; for ubiquitous systems to work safely in various 
situations; and for ubiquitous environments to behave safely with all people.
 

Scope and Interests

SQC-13 is an international symposium for presenting and discussing emerging 
ideas and trends in aspects of Security and Quantum Communications, but are not 
limited to:

(1) Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Communications
(2) Quantum Measurement and Quantum Metrology
(3) Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Theory
(4) Implementations of Quantum Information Processing
(5) Applications of Quantum Communications and Networking
(6) Free-Space Quantum Communication on Earth and Space
(7) Entanglement as a Resource for Quantum Communications
(8) Network Protocols and Wireless Networks
(9) Information Coding and Compressing Techniques
(10) MIMO and OFDM


Submission and Publication Information

The accepted papers from this symposium will be published by Springer Lecture 
Notes in Computer Science (EI indexed). Submitted papers must not substantially 
overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously 
submitted to a journal or a symposium with proceedings. Papers must be clearly 
presented in English, must not exceed 10 pages (or 14 pages with the over 
length charge), including tables, figures, references and appendixes, in 
Springer LNCS Format with Portable Document Format (.pdf). Please submit your 
paper at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sqc2013.

Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, 
relevance, and clarity of presentation. Distinguished papers, after further 
revisions, will be considered for possible publication in several SCI & EI 
indexed special issues of prestigious international journals. By submitting a 
paper to the symposium, authors assure that if the paper is accepted, at least 
one author will attend the symposium and present the paper. For no-show 
authors, their papers will be removed from the digital library after the 
symposium and their affiliations will be notified.
