Quantum Key Distribution (Qkd) from Academic Research to Industrial Practice
With the significant publicity campaigns around Quantum Technologies and specifically Quantum Communication, and the flurry of Standardization and Certification as well as industrial cooperation activities (ETSI, ISO, ITU-T, CEN-CENELEC, GSMA) we intend to have a serious discussion on the practical applicability of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). On the one hand it is paramount to understand what are the realistic or to be anticipated risks against which QKD can ensure protection. On the other it is to be elaborated, how QKD can be compared to suggested alternatives, specifically Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Further the utilization strategy of QKD is to be discussed. Very often some partially unrealistic and often exaggerated requirements such as dedicated fiber infrastructures and trust centers at short distances plus expectations for a specific and very expensive technology are put forward that make QKD technology appear unaffordable financially, This is to be addressed critically in conjunction with issues such as authentication in these cases. It is to be understood what practically relevant but affordable use cases can be addressed using QKD.
6G Vision and Enablers
While the mobile industry is now focusing on the realization of what 5G technologies promised, we can see that initial consideration about the next generation of mobile communications, i.e., 6G, is already happening. Considering the general trend of introducing new services with higher requirements over different generations of communication systems, it would be natural to expect that 6G technologies need to be developed to envision more advanced services than 5G. Examples of such new services include truly immersive XR, mobile hologram, and digital replica. Initial investigation already suggests rough estimates of performance requirements for 6G such as 1 Tbps peak rate, 1 Gbps user-experienced data rate, and 0.1 ms air latency. Use of terahertz spectrum would naturally be considered to provide such high data rate. Novel approaches, e.g., reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, further advanced duplex technologies, use of AI/ML, would need to be considered to satisfy the expected performance requirements. In this proposed industry presentation session, industry experts will present their views on 6G vision and enablers.
