The project “Quantum Semantics for 6G” brings transCampus together with the Excellence Cluster CeTI. Assistant professor Riccardo Bassoli together with Osvaldo Simeone from the Centre for Intelligent Information Processing System at King’s aim at tackling some of the obstacles in semantic and goal-oriented communications.
A key paradigm of 6G technology is, that the focus is no longer on the exact transmission of information to the receiver, but on the impact that the received information has on the interpretation of the meaning intended by the transmitter or on the accomplishment of a goal. This should enable to achieve greater data rates more efficiently, however its full potential is currently hindered by excessive energy usage and computational limitations.
By integrating quantum technologies into 6G semantic communications, the group aims at overcoming this challenges. PhD students from both institutions will work on specific queries, such as the use of cognition models based on quantum probability theory as a basis for the development of semantic communications.
Despite investigating these research questions, the team will also organize a second edition of the Summer School on “Quantum Communication Networks & Technologies”, planned for May 2025.
