Quantum communication and quantum sensing, which leverage the unique characteristics of quantum systems, enable information-theoretically secure communication and high-precision measurement of physical quantities. They have attracted significant attention in recent research. However, they both face numerous challenges on the path to practical application. For instance, device imperfections may lead to security vulnerability, and environmental noise may significantly reduce measurement accuracy. Traditional solutions often involve high computational complexity, long processing times, and substantial hardware resource requirements, posing major obstacles to the large-scale deployment of quantum communication and quantum sensing networks. Artificial intelligence (AI), as a major technological advancement in current scientific landscape, offers powerful data processing and analytical capabilities, providing new ideas and methods for optimizing and enhancing quantum communication and sensing systems.
Significant progresses have been made in applying AI to quantum communication and sensing, injecting new vitality into these cutting-edge technologies. In quantum communication, AI techniques have greatly improved the performance and security of quantum key distribution, quantum memory, and quantum networks through parameter optimization, real-time feedback control, and attack detection. In quantum sensing, quantum sensing technology enables ultra-high sensitivity detection of physical quantities such as time and magnetic fields. The introduction of AI has opened up new avenues for achieving highprecision and high-sensitivity quantum measurements. With AI, sensor performance is optimized, and measurement accuracy is further enhanced through data analysis.
This paper also analyzes the current challenges in applying AI to empower quantum communication and sensing systems, such as implementing efficient algorithm deployment and system feedback control under limited computational resources, and addressing complex task environments, dynamically changing scenarios, and multi-task coordination requirements. Finally, the paper discusses and envisions future development prospects in this field.-
