=================

Dear QIRG members,

Sorry to bother you with this CFP. The 1st ICNP Workshop on Networked Quantum Systems and Applications (NetQSA 2026) will be held on October 5, 2026, in Tempe, Arizona, USA, co-located with IEEE ICNP 2026. The submission deadline has been extended to June 23, 2026 (AOE) and the submission link is available at https://netqsa26.hotcrp.com/.


As quantum systems evolve from isolated devices to networked infrastructures, this workshop aims to bring together researchers from networking, distributed systems, and quantum information science to explore these challenges. The workshop will focus on the design, analysis, and implementation of networked quantum systems and their applications, both classical and quantum.


We invite two types of submissions:

  *
Full Papers: Up to 6 pages (including figures and references), formatted according to the IEEE conference template. Submissions must present original, unpublished work that is not under concurrent review elsewhere.
  *
Short Papers / Extended Abstracts: Up to 2 pages (excluding references), following the same format. This track is intended for early-stage work, position papers, and work-in-progress.

All submissions will undergo a peer-review process and will be evaluated based on relevance, technical quality, and potential to stimulate discussion at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to attend the workshop and present the work. Accepted papers will be included in ICNP 2026 workshop proceedings and published in IEEEXplore (subject to IEEE approval).
