Abstract

With the advancement of quantum computing technology, a pressing need arises to assess its potential implications on existing systems and infrastructures. In this paper, we delve into the interplay between quantum computing and 5G technology, with a specific focus on its profound impact on cryptography and the emergence of post-quantum techniques. We analyse the potential vulnerabilities quantum computers pose to conventional cryptographic algorithms employed in 5G networks. Our research investigates the challenges and opportunities that arise at the intersection of quantum computing and 5G, ultimately aiming to contribute to the development of secure and future-proof communication systems.
