Technical Paper Tracks — Digital Presentation Guidelines
Virtual IEEE Quantum Week aims to be a leading venue for presenting high-quality original research, groundbreaking innovations, and compelling insights in quantum computing and engineering. Technical papers are peer-reviewed and can be on any topic related to quantum computing and its technologies. Papers accepted by IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing & Engineering (QCE20) will be submitted to IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The best papers will be invited to the journals IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering (TQE) and ACM Transactions on Quantum Computing (TQC).
Digital Presentation Guidelines for Authors of Technical Papers
As a QCE20 Technical Paper presenter, please visit this page regularly for updates on how to prepare your QCE20 Digital Paper presentation for the week of October 12-16, 2020. The Advance Conference Program is published.
If you have any questions regarding the Technical Papers, please contact QCE20 Program Board Chair Greg Byrd gbyrd@ncsu.edu
The final version of your paper must be uploaded August 8, 2020 to the following website: https://ieeecps.org/#!/auth/login?ak=1&pid=6EPAYSdCANq2Z3kppV2Yhe
Registration: Technical Paper Authors must be duly registered for QCE20 by August 15, 2020 for the paper to be included in the Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE20). The Advance Registration deadline for QCE20 attendees is September 30, 2020. Note, signing on to the digital platform will be through the credentials you provided for registration. Please make sure that you are properly registered for QCE20 before you can upload your paper presentation video.
Paper Presentation Videos: Due to the COVID-19 situation, QCE20 is now a virtual-only or digital-only conference. Each QCE20 Technical Paper presentation is 30 minutes long and consists of a 20-minutes pre-recorded presentation followed by a 10-minutes Q/A session. The deadline for uploads of paper presentation videos is Oct 5. Please follow the Final Digital Recording and Uploading Guidelines.
Virtualization Platform: QCE20 will use the Hubb Virtualization or Digital Conference Platform to deliver over 270 hours of QCE20 programming. Each QCE20 Workshop will have one Digital Room (a Zoom room) for streaming pre-recorded presentations, hosting interactive sessions (e.g., Q/A sessions, hands-on exercises, or discussions). The default capacity for each workshop, tutorial, and paper-track will be 100 people with at most 50 personal attendee videos simultaneously being displayed.
Schedule: During the week of October 12-16, 2020, each QCE20 Technical Paper is assigned to a specific day. Each Technical Paper Track will have three 1.5-hour scheduled sessions in the Mountain Time Zone from 10:45-12:15, 13:00-14:30, and 15:15-17:00. The 45-minute gaps between these three sessions are reserved for Exhibits, Posters, Birds of a Feather, Networking sessions, and other highly interactive events.
Format: Each QCE20 Technical Paper presentation is pre-recorded followed an interactive and moderated Q/A sessions. The questions are curated from the Q/A channel by the session curator and asked by the session moderator. Thus, we kindly ask Technical Paper presenters to provide pre-recorded videos for their Technical Paper of 20 minutes for effective and uniform streaming by following the Final Digital Recording and Uploading Guidelines.
Recording: All QCE20 sessions will be recorded. Registered attendees can play recordings of missed sessions or replay exciting sessions until November 30, 2020. QCE20 volunteers and virtualization platform company staff will be responsible for recording the QCE20 sessions.
Copyright and Consent Release forms: QCE20 will collect the regular IEEE Paper Copyright form from all the paper authors as well as abstract authors for Tutorials, Workshops, Panels, and Posters. For presenters, QCE 2020 will collect the QCE20 Presentation Consent and Release form to be uploaded with the video as outlined in the Final Digital Recording and Uploading Guidelines.
Onboarding: By Oct 5, QCE20 will provide instructions for attendee onboarding for the virtualization environment. Registered attendees will obtain an account and a digital presence. Attendees should complete this step a few days before the conference starts. By familiarizing themselves with the QCE20 program, virtual conference structure, and conference rooms, attendees will be able to enjoy the 270+ hours of QCE20 programming readily and effectively.
Again, please watch this space for more instructions as we transition to the digital platform. Thanks for all your patience, help, and support in making Digital QCE20 a great success.
