The emergence of quantum computers poses a significant threat to current
cryptographic standards. Integrating PQC and quantum communications into 6G
networks is critical to ensuring these applications remain secure and
resilient to quantum attacks. The  Postquantum Cryptography and Quantum
Communication for 6G Networks (6GQ) workshop invites original research and
review papers that push the boundaries of knowledge in post-quantum
cryptography (PQC), quantum communication, and their integration into 6G
networks. We encourage submissions that address theoretical developments,
practical implementations, and innovative applications in these areas.



Authors are solicited to contribute to the workshop by submitting articles
that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial
experiences that describes significant advances in the following areas, but
are not limited to:

 - Quantum key distribution (QKD) and its role in securing quantum
   communication in 6G.

 - Quantum-Resistant Security Protocols for 6G

 - Implementation and Standardization of PQC in Telecommunications

 - Quantum Communication Technologies for 6G

 - Simulations and Performance Evaluations of PQC in 6G

 - Case studies on the implementation of PQC and quantum communication
   in telecommunication networks

- Challenges and solutions in integrating PQC into 6G architectures

- Overview of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms suitable for 6G
  applications

- Standardization efforts and regulatory considerations for
  quantum-resistant 6G networks

Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously
unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference,
workshop, or journal. There are a number of tracks that are designed to
improve interactions of experts over different stages in research
development.

Accepted papers of the workshop will be part of the IEEE LCN proceedings
and IEEE Xplore. All published papers must include title, complete contact
information for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the cover page. IEEE
reserves the right to remove papers from IEEE Xplore that are not presented
at the conference.

*** Paper submission ***

 Technical papers can be up to 6 pages 10 pt font in IEEE format, including
tables, figures, and references. Papers must be registered on EDAS and
submitted in PDF format via: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=32348
