From Quantum Connectivity to Quantum-Native Artificial Intelligence

Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/499855

Join us for the exciting webinar series on "New Frontiers in Signal Processing in 6G Wireless Networks", a collaboration between IEEE Signal Processing, IEEE Communications Society chapters in Ottawa, and IEEE ComSoC Young Professionals. Kicking off on September 26th, this series features leading professors exploring the latest advancements in 6G technology. Don’t miss the first session!Register now and stay tuned for updates on upcoming speakers and topics!Speaker(s): Prof. Walid SaadAgenda: Quantum technologies are poised to transform next-generation communication and artificial intelligence (AI) systems. This talk explores two key directions: (a) scaling quantum communication networks (QCNs) and (b) designing quantum-native reinforcement learning algorithms. Scaling QCNs across nodes and geographies remains a critical challenge for realizing a quantum Internet (QI) that integrates quantum security, computing, and machine learning. We examine quantum repeater networks (QRNs), that form the backbone for large-scale QCNs, with a focus on how to scale repeater counts and spacing to manage probabilistic entanglement operations while maintaining quality-of-service. We then investigate free-space optical (FSO) quantum channels, where reflective intelligent surfaces (RISs) can mitigate environmental obstacles in settings lacking conventional infrastructure. Beyond connectivity, enabling effective collaboration among distributed artificial intelligence (AI) agents emerges as a second major challenge—one where quantum technologies can offer transformative advantages. Existing multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) methods, including recent quantum MARL frameworks, typically rely on classical information exchange, limiting scalability and efficiency. To overcome this, we introduce entangled quantum multi-agent reinforcement learning (eQMARL): a quantum-native AI framework where quantum entanglement forms the core mechanism for coordination. In eQMARL, a quantum-entangled split critic links local observation encoders via entangled qubits, removing the need for explicit data sharing and reducing classical communication overhead. Joint quantum measurements enable coordinated policy updates with far fewer centralized parameters. Experiments show that eQMARL improves convergence tiem and achieves higher scores than classical and quantum baselines, and reduces centralized parameters significantly compared to the split classical baseline. We conclude the talk with an overview on important open problems in these areas, as well as some of our ongoing research <a href="http://activities.Virtual:" target="_blank" title="activities.Virtual:">activities.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/499855
