Month: February 2025

The “Workshop on Quantum and Digital Twin Technologies for 5G/6G” was held on Thursday, February 27, 2025, at the London Digital Twin Research Centre, Middlesex University. This event gathered leading international researchers and industry experts to discuss the integration of Quantum Computing (QC) with Digital Twin technologies, particularly in addressing security challenges within OpenRAN (O-RAN) for 5G and 6G networks. The hybrid workshop attracted over 50 participants, both in person and online, from Vietnam, India, and the UK. The programme featured 10 presentations and 6 poster sessions on the topic.

The workshop,  sponsored by our EPSRC UKI-FNI pilot project “Q-DTRAN“ and the British Council ISPF project “QuanDT, served as a dynamic platform for exploring cutting-edge research at the intersection of quantum computing, digital twin technologies, and 5G/6G networks. Participants gained valuable insights into the latest advancements and future challenges in these fields. Discussions highlighted the need for continued interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation to address the complexities of securing next-generation communication networks.

Date: Thursday 27^th February 2025, Time: 10:00 – 15:30

Location: Room C214, College Building, London Digital Twin Research Centre, Middlesex University, The Burroughs, Hendon, London, NW4 4BT

This half-day event brings leading international researchers in model driven DT engineering and 5G/6G to showcase research challenges, current research and applications of Quantum Computing (QC), QC-based Digital Twins, O-RAN, security in O-RAN, and other topics in 5G/6G.  The event is jointly sponsored by EPSRC funding through our UKI-FNI EPSRC pilot project “Q-DTRAN: Feasibility Study of Quantum-based Digital Twin Concept for Security Enhancement in OpenRAN” and the British Council ISPF project “QuanDT: Quantum Computing-Assisted Digital Twinning for Enhanced Open RAN Towards 6G”.

The workshop will feature talks followed by a plenary discussion. While there has been significant research progress and focus on security in O-RAN, this workshop will aim to progress our understanding and designing of quantum-based digital twins that tackles the challenges in O-RAN. The sessions will be particularly suited to those seeking a broader understanding of digital twins, applied quantum computing/mechanics, and O-RAN.
