SCOPE
This tutorial introduces quantum computing with a brief introduction to quantum mechanics and quantum processing using quantum gates and an overview of quantum computers, including quantum gate-based computers and quantum-annealing-based processors. As wireless networks continue to evolve into 6G and beyond, the deployment of networks will be increasingly heterogeneous comprising of base-stations or access points or distributed units serving users in different spectra utilizing different technologies, with self-organizing features enabled. This tutorial provides a framework to explore quantum-based processing to help with system optimization in emerging networks. The general overview of system optimization in emerging networks is provided, with specific applicability to optimization in disaggregated RAN frameworks such as Open-RAN. The tutorial then explores quantum-inspired techniques for resource management and optimization of emerging wireless networks. Different resource management problems are addressed using such processing techniques, including dynamic virtual PCI optimization, dynamic network energy savings, and dynamic load balancing across network nodes. The concept of quantum blockchain networks is also introduced to address such resource management problems.
