6GQT

Description

The 6G and Quantum Technology (6GQT) project aims to research and investigate the connection or link between the two areas of 6G and quantum communication. This is a coordinated project between the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich and the Technical University of Munich. On the one hand, this project aims to lay the scientific foundations for combining the two technologies. On the other hand, a quantum communication testbed is to be created. Basically, the project consists of three interconnected areas: (i) basic research, (ii) hardware testbed and (iii) software platform for distributed quantum applications.

The Chair of Mobile and Distributed Systems, Institute of Computer Science, LMU, is responsible for the software platform for distributed quantum applications in this project. Specifically, a software platform for distributed quantum applications in a QC-6G network is to be designed, realized and demonstrated. This will be done on the basis of the hardware testbed. In addition, quantum algorithms and quantum processes are to be integrated into the software platform. A further aim is to investigate the linking of quantum networks and quantum optimizers and to identify new possibilities for this.
