Science Daily August 31, 2021 While components of the quantum Internet are under development, the control plane remains undefined. An international team of researchers (Canada, USA – industry) outline their vision for a software-defined quantum network that enables a flexible experimental platform for developing quantum applications for industry. The quantum Internet, like the classical Internet, will be a network of networks. Operation of an industrial quantum network is viewed as a networked control problem, and they propose a time-sensitive network control plane to enable a quantum software-defined network. Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution is used as an example implementation since it […]
