Title: Quantum Technologies in 6G Networks: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract: The keynote will deal with the transformative role of quantum technologies in 6G networks, highlighting practical opportunities, technical challenges, and the roadmap from research to real-world deployment. It is divided into three parts. The first part will address the general challenges of implementing quantum technologies in 6G networks, illustrating each with examples. The second part will focus on security, with an emphasis on quantum key distribution (QKD) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The third part of the keynote will present experiences from international projects, summarize efforts for interoperability between vendors, pilot projects, and recent achievemnts in the field of quantum communications.
