Research Topic Description, including Problem Statement:
Quantum Networks are a nascent technology, current efforts are focused on developing testbeds for distributing quantum entanglement and exchanging quantum information between multiple networked nodes. This novel type of information sharing is required to operate with a classical network control plane and methods of interfacing classical and quantum information collection and sharing protocols are topics of current research as well as use cases for quantum information to enhance features of a classical network. Applications of a quantum network are still unclear without robust modeling and simulation of quantum network capabilities and challenges.
Example Approaches:
Realistic modeling of quantum information sharing, such as entanglement fidelity over long haul optical fiber networks, are needed to answer basic questions regarding the expected performance of a quantum network. The Laboratory for Telecommunication Sciences has an effort to model noise conditions and performance of deployed network optical fiber and to integrate those data into performance models for quantum-level signals, single photon transmission. A physics-based model of realistic components, considering the limitations of hardware specifications (such as insertion loss, performance over telecom spectra, or environmental conditions) will allow for accurate predictions of the fidelity of the quantum-level signals and the quality of the information able to be exchanged between two or more network nodes. This provides the foundation for a platform to test and simulate protocols and applications for quantum networks.
