WS-10.6: Panel Discussion

Moe Win, Michael Ng, Andrea Conti, Peter Mueller

Room: Jefferson West

Chair: Lajos Hanzo (University of Southampton, United Kingdom (Great Britain))

With the upcoming new Quantum Communications and Information Technologies, many new fields of research and applications are under discussion. This panel discussion aims to discuss the aspects of quantum technologies, its requirements and its possible applications. A special emphasis is given to the questions how the new technology could be integrated in our traditional fields of communications and how our know-how can be applied to let quantum technologies happen. The panel also discusses key technologies and technology enablers to motivate future research.
