Call for papers - Quantum Technologies conference

Those wishing to present at the Quantum Technologies conference are required to submit a full paper for consideration by the Conference’s Technical Programme Committee.

Successful authors will have their paper(s) submitted for indexing on IET Inspec, IEEE Xplore and Ei Compendex, increasing citations and influence that extends beyond the conference.

We aim for a 16-week turnaround time from conference end date to publication, providing all Authors submit the requested documentation by the deadlines provided.
