QCrypt 2021 Call for Papers

[Serge Fehr]

Dear QCrypt Friends,

The deadline for submitting contributed talks to QCrypt 2021, the 11th 
International Conference on Quantum Cryptography, is approaching. In 
order to ensure that contributing to and participation in the conference 
is possible for everyone, QCrypt 2021 will be held as a virtual 
conference. Please see below for the key dates and additional 
information, and visit https://2021.qcrypt.net/call/ for the full Call 
For Papers.

KEY DATES

* Talk submission deadline: May 11, 2021
* Talk notification date: July 1, 2021
* Poster submission deadline: July 6, 2021
* Poster notification date: July 16, 2021
* QCrypt conference: August 23-27, 2021

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

An extended abstract for a contributed talk should be 2-3 pages in A4 or 
letter size PDF, using reasonable margins and at least 11pt font. It 
should give a non-technical, clear and insightful description of the 
results and main ideas, their impact, and their importance to quantum 
cryptography.

For a “poster only” submission, a one-page non-technical PDF is 
sufficient as the extended abstract.

The extended abstract may refer to technical details which are presented 
elsewhere. In particular, authors may include citations to a full 
version of the paper that is either published, available on arXiv.org or 
provided as an attachment (links to full versions on personal webpages 
are not accepted). This is strongly recommended for theory submissions 
to help the peer-review process. The extended abstract should not be a 
compressed version of the full-length paper.

The submission server is now available at: https://qcrypt2021.quics.umd.edu/

STUDENT PAPER PRIZE

Since 2011, QCrypt features a prize for the best student submission. A 
submission is eligible for the student prize if and only if the main 
author(s) is/are a student(s) at the time of the submission, will 
present the work at QCrypt, and further a significant portion of the 
work must have been done by said student(s), including contributions to 
the key ideas.


Best regards,
Serge Fehr (on behalf of the QCrypt steering committee, the PC chairs, 
and the local organizers)
