(London, 18 June 2025) We are proud to share that Professor Huan Nguyen, Director of the London Digital Twin Research Centre (LDTRC), delivered an invited talk at the IET Space & Communications Week 2025, held at the IET London: Savoy Place.
This annual landmark event brought together three major conferences under one roof – 6G and Future Technologies, the International Satcoms Conference, and the Quantum Engineering and Technologies Conference (QET) – offering a unique platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and innovation.
Prof. Nguyen’s talk, titled “Quantum-based Digital Twin for Open RAN”, introduced emerging research that sits at the intersection of quantum engineering, AI, and next-generation wireless systems. He presented the initial outcomes from two ongoing international collaborations:
-
-
The UK–Japan Quantum Digital Twin for Open RAN Project, supported by the British Council’s International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF). Read more »
-
The EPSRC Quantum-Inspired Framework for Future Network Intelligence (UKI-FNI) project. Read more »
-
The talk showcased how quantum computing principles – such as entanglement, superposition, and quantum-inspired optimisation – can revolutionise the creation of real-time, adaptive digital twins for Open RAN, enhancing resilience, interoperability, and efficiency in future communication networks. By integrating quantum-inspired algorithms into digital twin architectures, these projects aim to tackle key challenges in scalable, secure, and intelligent network orchestration – particularly in disaster-prone and remote environments where dynamic reconfiguration is critical.
The invitation to speak at this high-profile event recognises LDTRC’s leadership in pioneering research across Digital Twins, 6G, and Quantum-Enabled Systems, and highlights the growing international momentum behind these collaborations.
