Special Session on Quantum computing applied to industry and cybersecurity (QUINCY)

Scope

This special session aims to explore the transformative potential of quantum computing across industrial domains and cybersecurity. It welcomes contributions addressing the foundations of quantum computing and quantum information, as well as the rapidly evolving field of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) and its capacity to reshape data processing, including quantum enhanced threat detection techniques and quantum classification methods. The issue also highlights recent advances in post quantum cryptography and its implications for current security protocols.

We invite submissions that examine how these emerging technologies can strengthen security and optimize complex industrial processes. The special session encourages dialogue among researchers, industry practitioners, and domain experts to foster innovative approaches that connect quantum technologies with real world applications, while also considering the challenges of integrating quantum solutions into existing infrastructures.
