The journal focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of quantum communication, including quantum key distribution (QKD) and its applications in securing classical networks. It also explores the intersection of quantum technologies with machine learning, cybersecurity, and network infrastructure. Research areas include quantum machine learning for attack detection, quantum digital twins for network security, and the development of quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions. The journal also covers quantum networking protocols, entanglement distribution, and the performance of various QKD protocols in different network environments.
