Speech Title: Bridging Wireless Communications and Quantum Computing

Abstract: With 5G-Advanced established in 3GPP Release 18 and extended in Release 19, as the field moves toward 6G, the wireless landscape is undergoing transformative shifts. These include the seamless integration of people, machines, and environments through embedded intelligence; the convergence of space-air-ground networks; the unification of diverse frequency bands with distinct propagation behaviors; and the fusion of communication, computing, sensing, positioning, and intelligence. Although further progress is required on the road to 6G, researchers worldwide are already exploring groundbreaking technologies and emerging services extending beyond it.
This talk will provide an overview of advances toward next-generation wireless networks and highlight their connections to quantum computing. It will also introduce key concepts in quantum computing and illustrate their potential through an example application within this rapidly evolving ecosystem.
