  In this work we analyze the distribution of quantum entanglement over
communication channels in the millimeter-wave regime. The motivation for such a
study is the possibility for next-generation wireless networks (beyond 5G) to
accommodate such a distribution directly - without the need to integrate
additional optical communication hardware into the transceivers. Future
wireless communication systems are bound to require some level of quantum
communications capability. We find that direct quantum-entanglement
distribution in the millimeter-wave regime is indeed possible, but that its
implementation will be very demanding from both a system-design perspective and
a channel-requirement perspective.
