Abstract: Abstract Scientific and technological breakthroughs carry with themselves a pertinent question—“what’s next”. The evolution of mobile networks and spectrum technology over the last two decades has only confirmed this well-established fact. The ever-increasing need for broadening frequency bands, connectivity of devices which now run in billions of numbers, lower latency (so that we can enjoy interruption-free services 24 $$\times $$ × 7), increasing intervention of artificial intelligence in our day-to-day life, remote connectivity, and virtual presence to increase our output and reach and many more aspects have only intensified the demand for a more reliable, robust, intelligent, secure and friendly infrastructure through which the data, touted as the new oil for 21st century can be produced, stored and transmitted efficiently. The existing 4G and 5G systems cannot handle the ever-growing latency and connectivity needs of the Internet of Everything. Therefore, in this article, we present the vision of 6G technology with its requirements and discuss the associated challenges and enabler technologies in detail. Yet, with the advent of the quantum computer, all public-key-based techniques employed to provide communication security in existing smart networks, irrespective of underlying communication technology, are prone to quantum attacks. Hence, case studies related to Internet-of-Vehicles and Internet-of-Things utilizing a newly proposed architecture based on quantum secured 6G enabled communication is discussed to realize the secure and efficient Internet of Everything.
