Hanoi, Vietnam – January 2026 – PTIT welcomed Prof. Moe Z. Win from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the U.S.A to the 40th International Conference on Information Networking (ICOIN 2026) organised at PTIT. The landscape of global information networking witnessed defining moments when PTIT Hanoi campus became a hub for the world’s leading minds in computer communication, culminating in a groundbreaking keynote address that mapped the future of quantum technologies from January 14 to 16.
The highlight of the conference’s opening sessions was Keynote Speech 1, delivered by the distinguished Prof. Moe Z. Win from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His address, titled “Quantum Nexus for Sensing, Communication, Control, and Computing,” offered a visionary roadmap for the convergence of quantum mechanics and information systems.
In an era where classical computing and communication systems are approaching their physical limits, Prof. Win’s presentation introduced the concept of the “Quantum Nexus.” This theoretical framework suggests that the next generation of technology will not rely on isolated advancements, but rather on the synergistic integration of four key pillars:
- Quantum Sensing: Utilizing the extreme sensitivity of quantum states to measure physical quantities (such as time, gravity, and magnetic fields) with precision previously thought impossible.
- Quantum Communication: The development of unhackable networks secured by the laws of physics (Quantum Key Distribution), addressing critical cybersecurity challenges in the digital age.
- Quantum Control: The engineering of systems that can manipulate quantum states to maintain stability and coherence, essential for practical applications.
- Quantum Computing: Harnessing qubits to process vast datasets and solve complex algorithms exponentially faster than today’s most powerful supercomputers.
Prof. Win emphasized that the “Nexus”—the point where these four disciplines intersect—is where the true revolution lies, promising to transform industries ranging from autonomous transportation and healthcare to national defense and global telecommunications.
Hosting ICOIN 2026 marks a significant achievement for PTIT. Organized in strategic partnership with the Korean Institute of Information Scientists and Engineers (KIISE), the 40th edition of this conference serves as a testament to the enduring relationship between the Vietnamese and Korean scientific communities.
The event attracted hundreds of delegates, including:
- Renowned Scholars: Professors and researchers from top-tier universities globally.
- Industry Experts: Technical leaders driving R&D in the private sector.
- Promising Researchers: PhD candidates and students presenting the next wave of innovation.
By successfully hosting such a high-caliber international event, PTIT has further solidified its position as a premier research institution in Vietnam, capable of bridging local talent with global academic standards.
Prof. Moe Z. Win is a giant in the field of wireless communications. As a professor at the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) at MIT, his research has fundamentally shaped our understanding of network localization, wideband wireless systems, and quantum information science. His presence at ICOIN 2026 provided attendees—particularly young Vietnamese researchers—with rare access to world-class expertise and mentorship.
As ICOIN 2026 concludes, the insights shared by Prof. Win regarding the “Quantum Nexus” leave a lasting impact. The conference has set a high bar for future research, challenging the academic community to move beyond theoretical models and towards the engineering of practical quantum networks.
For PTIT, the success of this event is a springboard for future international collaborations, reinforcing its mission to lead Vietnam’s digital transformation through education, research, and global integration.
