The 1st International Conference on Quantum Information Technologies Applied to Nature and Society (QUITANS 2018) is a premier scientific meeting for discussing the latest advances in the emerging areas of human-computer interaction, high education, augmented reality and new technology.

We are at the beginning of a new era, such as was computer science in the 60s, when nobody knew for certain where the birth and development of the internet could take humanity, and very especially since its democratization in the 90s. In short, these are times of major breakthroughs, and with a huge repercussion on both everyday life and the progress of scientific knowledge. Therefore, we are facing a kind of natural and artificial selection of the contents of the bits towards the qubits. Our main areas of topics can be summarized in the following groups of sub-topics, which do not mean that other disciplines, domains, specializations, etc., cannot be included in them.

Many conferences are focussed on specific aspects of computer science, telecommunications, multimedia, etc., and bring together leading experts in a particular field or sometimes on a specific technology. At such large conferences students are often marginalized or relegated to poster sessions. The conferences, workshops, symposiums, etc., are not a big scale and aim to promote dialogue between established professors and graduate students working on new directions. Hence topics from the whole range of hardware, software, design, etc. are welcomed. Last year’s symposiums, workshops, conferences, etc., organized by AInCI and ALAIPO, for instance, included papers, demos, research-in-progress, doctoral consortium, posters, etc., on the topics (see below the alphabetical order). An extensive listing connotes and reflects the requirement and also skill necessary to find intersection zones of the disciplines among the different domains, fields, and specialities; which at the same time potentially boosts and merges the formerly different scientific views.

All contributions –papers, workshops, demos, posters, research-in-progress and doctoral consortium, etc. should be of high quality, originality, clarity, significance and impact. In the current international conference it is demonstrated how with a correct integration among professionals of formal and factual sciences interesting research lines in the following subjects abc, and other computational areas are solicited on, but not limited to (alphabetical order):
