Communication-Assisted Sensing in 6G Networks – IEEE

This paper focuses on the
optimal waveform design for communication-assisted sensing
(CAS) systems within the context of 6G perceptive networks. The waveform design aims to minimise the sensing distortion at the user end while adhering to the SCT and power budget constraints.

Telecom band quantum dot technologies for long-distance quantum networks – ArXiv

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) so far have exhibited exceptional performance as key elements, i.e., quantum light sources and spin-photon interfaces, for quantum repeaters, but only in the near-infrared (NIR) regime. This review presents the physics and the technological developments towards epitaxial QD devices emitting at the telecom O- and C-bands for quantum networks. The paper also discusses the challenges and opportunities to realise future telecom QD devices with improved performance and expanded functionalities by taking advantage of hybrid integration.

Photonic Crystals Imitate Gravitational Effects on Light – Photonics.com

A group of researchers in Japan has replicated the way that light would behave if it were subject to gravity, supporting a recent scientific theory about pseudogravity.

According to the theory, pseudogravity, a phenomenon replicating the effects of gravity, can be achieved by deforming crystals in the lower frequency region.

WEF Global Risks Report 2021 – Digital, Economy, Climate, Social

by | Jan 19, 2021 |

The 16th edition of the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report analyses long term and short term risks from societal fractures—manifested through persistent and emerging risks to human health, rising unemployment, widening digital divides, youth disillusionment and geopolitical fragmentation. Businesses risk a disorderly shakeout which can exclude large cohorts of workers and companies from the markets of the future. Environmental degradation—still an existential threat to humanity—risks intersecting with societal fractures to bring about severe consequences.

IEEE – The Road Towards 6G: A Comprehensive Survey

by | Jan 13, 2021 |

IEEE members Wei Jiang, Bin Han,
Mohammad Asif Habibi, and Hans Dieter Schotten collate a comprehensive survey of 6G’s elements, status, and possible future directions. The authors investigate 6G as a set of communications network technologies, and apply a scope and treatment appropriate to that definition.
