Raj Jain,
Quantum Networking: Challenges and Research Opportunities,
Keynote at the 2026 IEEE 16th Annual Computing and Communication Workshop and Conference (CCWC), 6 January 2026, Las Vegas, NV, USA.
ABSTRACT:
Quantum Computing is at the top of the hype curve and offers unique research opportunities. It is well known that Quantum Computing will break the current security methods, and post-quantum cryptography has already been standardized. Both industry and governments are investing heavily in this upcoming technology, and there are significant challenges. In this talk, I will highlight the opportunities for research in quantum networking
