Chapter 26: Quantum Communication Networks for 6G
Abstract:
The research and industrial communities are concentrating their efforts in two main trends in communications, which are seen as the new drivers not only in telecommunications but also in all the aspects of our lives: sixth generation (6G) and the Quantum Internet. While their research and standardization efforts are still independently faced, the limitations and challenges of these two systems can experience significant benefits from their integration. This chapter aims at making the reader familiar with current status of 6G and the Quantum Internet architectural design and how they can be integrated to gain a mutual advantage.
