Abstract
Quantum networks lie at the core of the second quantum revolution. They rely on a myriad of components to implement efficient quantum communication among quantum processors. Quantum networks span a wide range of physical scales—from millimeter-scale chip-level interconnects inside dilution refrigerators to satellite-based links over thousands of kilometers. Among the plural landscape of applications and technologies, there exists a unifying thread guiding the development of quantum networks: protocols that enable efficient quantum communication.
In my dissertation, I propose to explore the vast landscape of quantum networks by devising analytical models for network performance, designing protocols for resource allocation and distributed quantum computing, and introducing Quantum Network Tomography, a novel field focused on the characterization of quantum network components from end-to-end measurements.
