Welcome to QCIT 2015

Welcome you to the workshop on Quantum Communications and Information Technology (QCIT'15) at IEEE GlobeCom 2015 in the sunny city of San Diego, California. This first workshop organized by ComSoc's emerging technical committee on quantum communications and information technology brings together researchers from all over the world to discuss the latest advances in communications related quantum technology.

The technical program of QCIT'15 consists of 8 a keynote, 8 paper presentations and an open panel discussion.

QCIT'15 received 20 paper submissions from 9 countries, out of which 8 papers have been accepted - corresponding to an acceptance rate of 40%. All papers have undergone a rigorous review process - every paper was reviewed by at least 3 experts.

We would like to especially thank the members of the technical program committee and the external reviewers for their dedication. Without their help, this first workshop on QCIT would not be possible. We would also like to thank the keynote speaker for contributing this important part of the program. Last, but not least, our sincere thanks to the workshop chairs, Albena Mihovska and Annamalai Annamalai, and the technical program chair, Ramesh Rao, for their strong support and willingness to help.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in San Diego!
