Empowering AI-Native 6G Wireless Networks with Quantum Federated Learning
AI-native 6G networks are envisioned to tightly embed artificial intelligence (AI) into the wireless ecosystem, enabling real-time, personalized, and privacy-preserving intelligence at the edge. A foundational pillar of this vision is federated learning (FL), which allows distributed model training across devices without sharing raw data. However, implementing classical FL methods faces several bottlenecks in heterogeneous dynamic wireless networks, including limited device compute capacity, un…

"These were the times of Justine Ezarik opening a box containing the 300 pages of her first AT&T bill. Of Joe Hewitt releasing the iUI framework. Of Steve Ballmer laughing at the iPhone. Of James Duncan Davidson’s iconic photo of the iPhone inside a glass screen.
The iPhone SDK and the App Store did not come alone. They were accompanied by an infamous NDA that lasted until October 2008. It prevented devs from asking questions on a new website called “Stack Overflow”."

Britain’s intelligence and military support to Israel since October 7, as well as the continued authorisation of components of F35 jets, “crosses the line into participation,” Mr Kennard added.
