The world of quantum computing unravels innovative and powerful computational techniques, solving challenges that were once considered beyond reach. Advancements in quantum computing have the potential to rapidly accelerate parallelizable telecom workloads, complement AI to automate telecom processes, enhance Radio Access Network computations for 5G and drive new possibilities on the path towards 6G. Communication Solutions Providers could benefit from this improved performance at a decreased energy consumption. The presentation focuses on putting these claims to the test. We will explore, where are we on that journey today and show how applicable quantum computing methods are to telecom, using a real customer data proof of concept.
