Abstract: In the future, the communication network needs to meet the characteristics of ultra high density device connection, massive data processing and integrating intelligence, which leads to the urgent needs on the networks爷 computing capabilities.As one of the most important computing technologies in the Post.Moore period, the quantum computing holds promise of parallel caculation and information processing capability, and is expected to be the key enabler for the future communication networks.This article analyzes the potential advantages of applying quantum
computing in the communication networks.Based on the current development of quantum computing, quantum algorithms and quantum鄄assisted technologies, the paper focuses on exploring several potential application scenarios of quantum computing in wireless networks, showing the prospect of quantum computing applications in future communication networks.
