- Quantum Cryptography

- Quantum Interferometry and Quantum Sensors

- Entanglement as a Resource of Quantum Technology

- Quantum Electron Transport and Nanophotonics Devices

- Hybrid Quantum Systems: Connecting Photons – Atoms – Solid State Devices

- Superconducting Nanoscale Devices in Quantum Communication

- Nanomechanical Quantum Systems and Their Interaction with Nonclassical Light

- Quantum Processors and Computers Design

- Quantum Programming Languages and Semantics PAPERS

All authors are required to submit an extended abstract of their presentation by the deadline in English. The extended abstracts are limited to 2 pages. The deadline for uploading the extended abstract with 2 pages is Jun 1, 2012. Papers should be uploaded using the ICST Assyst Proceedings system, and have to comply with the Springer LNICST format.
