Paulo Sergio Rufino Henrique, Albena Mihovska, Ramjee Prasad · 2023
This article underscores the pivotal role of quantum computing and related technologies in advancing Communication, Navigation, Sensing, and Services Integration (CONASENSE) in the 6G realm. The study provides a methodical journey through the chronological development of computing paradigms, starting from foundational computational frameworks like Turing Machines and Von Neumann's architecture, culminating in a sophisticated understanding of Quantum Turing Machines. Tracing computing's evolution from Turing Machines to Quantum Turing Machines, it acknowledges contributions from scientists like Bohr, Einstein, Feynman, and Benioff to quantum theory. The convergence of Quantum Computing and AI offers solutions to complex, NP-hard challenges, heralding a new era of optimization. This includes Quantum Computing, Quantum Algorithms, Quantum Machine Learning (QML), Quantum Communications, Quantum Sensing & Metrology, Quantum Simulation, and Quantum Imaging within the emerging CONASENSE and 6G paradigms, projecting their sustained relevance and impact beyond 2030.
