From classical to quantum communications…
While near-capacity classical communications have become a reality, ultimately secure near-hashing-bound quantum communications is far from wide-spread commercialization. Hence the research community is gradually turning to the exploration of the alluring quantum world relying on the somewhat weird rules of quantum physics, such as the entanglement and superposition of quantum bits, as well as the no-cloning theorem.
Hence we will highlight a few pivotal aspects, such as
-
Quantum key distribution;
-
Quantum coding mitigating decoherence in quantum computing;
-
Quantum search algorithms harnessed for solving large-scale classical search problems, etc.
Please join this exciting journey valued Colleague!

Intelligent and autonomous IoT Systems with Federated Learning
To meet the diverse requirements for intelligent autonomous IoT systems and ensure privacy, the concept of Federated Learning (FL) was proposed and used effectively. An IoT using computing edge technologies, security related technologies and machine learning, to enable smart autonomous systems is envisioned. So, FL has provided a platform in many of these applications to protect the data and reduce latency. These smart services and applications rely on efficient computation and communication resources. But being resource constrained, such IoT devices have introduced a number of new challenges. In this talk, we showcase our research activities to mitigate some of these challenges and contribute to such efforts to advocate possible solutions using these models. Then, we conclude with a list of some research directions along the same lines.

Gen AI and Telco Automation: Accelerating 5G/6G, NTN, and open ran through all-photonic networks with sensing, communication, and quantum security.
This keynote explores how Generative AI and telco automation are revolutionizing the next generation of wireless networks—including 5G, 6G, Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), and Open RAN—by enabling the evolution of all-photonic infrastructures. These networks promise unprecedented speed, efficiency, and intelligence by integrating advanced sensing and communication capabilities. AI-driven orchestration enhances network adaptability and performance, while quantum cryptography ensures robust security in an increasingly complex threat landscape. Dr. Yamany will highlight how these technologies converge to create intelligent, secure, and scalable architectures, showcasing real-world applications and forward-looking innovations that are shaping the future of global connectivity."
Dr. Sameh Yamany is a visionary technology leader and the current Chief Technology Officer at VIAVI Solutions, where he drives global innovation across 5G/6G, AI, quantum communications, and advanced network testing.
