The conclusion of the Innovate UK-funded QAssure project ( qassure.org ) marks not an ending, but a springboard. With two newly secured Impact Accelerator Awards from Loughborough University, our team is building on that foundation to take quantum network assurance to the next stage. Over the course of QAssure project, we developed a rigorous, scalable approach to assuring Quantum Communication Networks in close strategic collaboration with BT Group. That collaboration contin

[Submitted on 13 March 2026] A new preprint of a literature review on digital engineering, particulary on the digital-twin aspect of quantum communication networks, has been published on engrxiv. Amal Elsokary, Hayato Ishida, Catherine White, Stephen Powley, Maria Aslam, Michael Henshaw, and Siyuan Ji Abstract: Research on quantum communication networks has grown rapidly in recent years, driven by progress in quantum devices, simulators, and experimental testbeds. As these sy
