Call for Papers

Background:

Computational simulation and applied mathematics are essential for the development and evaluation of emerging communication paradigms, including quantum communication systems. As multimedia data volumes continue to grow, reliable transmission of images and videos over noisy and bandwidth-limited channels remains a significant challenge. Classical communication techniques rely on mathematical models, numerical optimization, and signal processing algorithms to improve reliability and efficiency. Similarly, quantum communication systems depend heavily on computational simulation to model quantum states, noise processes, and decoding strategies, as practical large-scale quantum hardware is still under development. Applied mathematical tools, such as linear algebra, probability theory, optimization, and numerical analysis, form the foundation for modeling quantum states, designing encoding schemes, and evaluating system performance. The integration of quantum communication concepts with computational simulation enables the study of complex quantum–classical hybrid systems and supports the development of robust, high-fidelity image transmission frameworks.

Goal/Rationale:

Despite promising theoretical advantages, practical quantum communication systems for multimedia transmission remain difficult to realize due to noise sensitivity, limited hardware capabilities, and the complexity of quantum error mitigation techniques. As a result, computational simulation plays a critical role in exploring new quantum encoding strategies, evaluating their performance, and identifying feasible system architectures. This workshop aims to highlight how applied mathematical modeling and computational simulation can be used to design, analyze, and optimize quantum communication frameworks for image and video transmission. The focus is on bridging theoretical quantum information principles with practical simulation-based system design. Topics of interest include mathematical modeling of quantum states, multi-qubit encoding strategies, channel noise modeling, numerical performance evaluation, and hybrid quantum–classical communication systems. By bringing together researchers from applied mathematics, computational science, and quantum communication, the workshop seeks to foster interdisciplinary discussions, share emerging methodologies, and identify new research directions for robust and efficient multimedia transmission in quantum-enabled communication systems.

Scope and Information for Participants:

This workshop focuses on computational and mathematical aspects of quantum communication systems, with particular emphasis on image and multimedia transmission. Contributions are invited on topics such as mathematical modeling of quantum communication channels, multi-qubit encoding strategies, quantum signal processing, numerical simulation of quantum noise processes, optimization of quantum–classical hybrid transmission frameworks, and performance evaluation using perceptual quality metrics. The workshop encourages research that combines theoretical analysis with computational experimentation, including simulation-driven design of encoding schemes, channel models, and decoding algorithms. Applications involving image and video transmission, quantum-enhanced signal processing, and bandwidth-constrained communication systems are especially welcome. Both methodological studies and application-oriented research that demonstrate the role of applied mathematics and computational simulation in advancing practical quantum communication systems fall within the scope of this workshop.

VISA:

Welcome to GOV.UK

In order to ensure the information is correct and up to date, there may be changes which we are not aware of. And different countries have different rules for the visa application. It is always a good idea to check the latest regulations in your country. This page just gives some general information of the visa application.

UK Visa Information

What you need to do
  • Check if what you plan to do in the UK is allowed as a Standard Visitor.
  • Check you meet the eligibility requirements.
  • Check if you need to apply for a visa to visit the UK.
  • Apply for a Standard Visitor visa online - if you need one.
Check you meet the eligibility requirements

You must have a passport or travel document to enter the UK. It should be valid for the whole of your stay.

You must be able to show that:

  • you'll leave the UK at the end of your visit
  • you're able to support yourself and your dependants during your trip (or have funding from someone else to support you)
  • you're able to pay for your return or onward journey (or have funding from someone else to pay for the journey)
  • you'll not live in the UK for extended periods through frequent or successive visits, or make the UK your main home
Check if you need a visa to visit the UK

Depending on your nationality, you'll either:

  • have to apply for a Standard Visitor visa before you travel to the UK
  • be able to visit the UK for up to 6 months without needing a visa

You can check if you need a visa before you apply.

If you do not need a visa, you must still meet the Standard Visitor eligibility requirements to visit the UK. You may be asked questions at the UK border about your eligibility and the activities you plan to do.

My scientific studies have afforded me great gratification; and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.
