UMass/CQN Quantum Network Science Seminar: Software and Protocol Stacks for Quantum Networks

Abstract: The quantum technology revolution brings with it the promise of a quantum internet. A new quantum network stack will be needed to account for the fundamentally new properties of quantum entanglement. The first realisations of quantum networks are already happening and research interest in quantum network protocols has started growing. I will present a proposal for a quantum network architecture with a particular focus on the network protocol stack layer responsible for end-to-end entanglement connectivity and a software architecture based on a programmable quantum data plane.

This seminar will be held on Zoom. For the link, please see the email from seminars [at] cs.umass.edu.
