Can Quantum Semantic Communication Intrinsically Exhibit Resilience in 6G Networks?

Vignesh Raman, Nikhitha Nunavath, Riccardo Bassoli +1 more

As the world outgrows the capabilities of 5G networks, the search for the next technical standard — 6G — accelerates, promising unprecedented connectivity, capability, and adaptability. However, optimizing network performance to simultaneously satisfy purported multiple key performance indicators — latency, energy efficiency, resilience, trustworthiness etc. — is a herculean struggle. Traditional Shannon-based communication models struggle to address and overcome the complex tradeoffs required in ultra-reliable, low-latency, and secure network architectures. It is no surprise, then, that emerging paradigms such as semantic communication, goal-oriented communication, and quantum communication are being integrated into telecommunication research. Unlike classical communication, semantic communication focuses on transmitting meaning more so than merely raw data; additionally, quantum semantic communication leverages quantum mechanics to further optimize information processing and security. In this paper, we conceptually investigate whether these theoretical technological advancements, when interpreted in the right context, can intrinsically enhance resilience in 6G networks.

Lifecycle-Aware Post-Quantum Cryptography with Provenance Verification for Secure Cloud Microservices

Lohit S, Nithya S

This repository contains the author-archived preprint of the research paper "Lifecycle-Aware Post-Quantum Cryptography with Provenance Verification for Secure Cloud Microservices", authored by Lohit S. and Nithya S. The work addresses a critical challenge facing modern cloud systems: preparing everyday distributed applications for the emergence of powerful quantum computers. Because future quantum computing advances threaten to compromise conventional encryption standards, cloud services must transition to quantum-resistant security without interrupting ongoing operations or adding severe latency to real-time communication. To address this, the authors propose a practical framework engineered to orchestrate a smooth, structured transition to next-generation quantum-safe security. The deposited file, "2026_LAPQC_Preprint.pdf", constitutes an unabridged, full-text technical working preprint. It contains the complete architectural schematics, formal mathematical foundations, algorithmic state transitions, experimental configurations, comparative result tables, and bibliographic citations. This public record represents the authors' definitive preprint version of the research, preserved here for open scholarly dissemination, academic verification, and permanent reference. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ **NOTICE ON SCHOLARLY PRIORITY & UNAUTHORIZED THIRD-PARTY DISSEMINATION** This deposit constitutes the authoritative, timestamped prior art record for this research, registered on September 8, 2026 under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.22659856).

A Quantum-Enhanced Semantic Communication Framework for Securing Military Health IoT Data

Anmol Agrawal, Rishabh Verma, Amar Sinha

The secure Medical Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing patient monitoring and healthcare data man-agement in military environments, where real-time health as-sessments of soldiers are critical. However, the exchange of sensitive medical data in these interconnected systems raises concerns about data security and privacy, particularly in military operations. This paper proposes a Quantum-Enhanced Seman-tic Communication framework to secure medical IoTin such contexts. Combining quantum communication with semantic interoperability, the framework leverages quantum mechanics principles such as entanglement and superposition to enable encryption and decryption that are resistant to conventional and emerging cyber threats. This research comprehensively analyzes quantum key distribution protocols and semantic interoperability standards to create a robust solution for secure medical data exchange in military IoTnetworks. The framework is tested with health monitoring sensors that transmit semantically rich data, protected by quantum encryption, in a simulated military environment. As quantum computing evolves, this approach offers a path to safeguard sensitive medical information in military settings, improving data security and improving the efficiency of healthcare services for soldiers.
