Panel “Digital Twins and Quantum Intelligence in NextG Networks: Rethinking the Foundations of Network Architecture and Control” – IEEE ICC 2026 – Young Professionals Program

The discussion, titled “Digital Twins and Quantum Intelligence in NextG Networks: Rethinking the Foundations of Network Architecture and Control,” addresses two burgeoning computational paradigms:

• Digital Twin Frameworks: Serving as system-level control abstractions that enable real-time visibility, predictive optimization, and closed-loop orchestration across complex 6G infrastructures.
• Quantum Intelligence: Leveraging quantum computing and quantum-inspired optimization to solve large-scale, high-dimensional communication problems that traditional methods currently struggle to address.

The panel is designed to provide technical depth and forward-looking perspectives for early-career researchers and young professionals who are actively shaping the future of intelligent and sustainable network systems.

Key areas of exploration include:

• Energy-aware network orchestration and scalable optimization frameworks.
• Resilience in intelligent infrastructures through real-time synchronization.
• Realistic integration pathways between quantum computation and operational communication systems.

one6G Participation

one6G is proud to highlight the involvement of Dr. Lina Mohjazi, an Associate Professor at the University of Glasgow and an active contributor to the one6G Association.
