LQSE Heads to Quantum 2.0 Conference and Exhibition
LQSE is heading to the Quantum 2.0 Conference and Exhibition alongside the Optica Quantum Industry Summit 2026 in Glasgow, 16-17 June 2026. The event brings together researchers, engineers, technology developers, and industry leaders working across the rapidly evolving quantum ecosystem. Representing LQSE at the conference will be Dr Siyuan Ji, Reader in Model-Based Systems Engineering and Group Leader of the LQSE Research Group, alongside Stephen Powley, Senior Research Asso
Taking QAssure to the Next Stage
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
Digital Engineering for Quantum Communication Networks: A Systematic Review of Models, Simulators, and Testbeds
[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

Exploration of Evolving Quantum Key Distribution Network Architecture Using Model-Based Systems Engineering
[Submitted on 21 Aug 2025] A new paper on how MBSE (SysML+OVM) could be utilised to facilitate the modelling and exploration of QKD Network Architectures. This work is funded by Innovate UK, under the QAssure programme, and is in collaboration with BT. The preprint is now on arXiv. We welcome feedback from the community. Please get in touch! Hayato Ishida, Amal Elsokary, Maria Aslam, Catherine White, Michael J. de C. Henshaw, Siyuan Ji Abstract: Realisation of significant adv
