Making Quantum Networks Work: Routing, Calibration, and Programmable Quantum Repeaters
Vinay Kumar
The quantum internet enables distribution of quantum states across distant nodes, supporting secure communication, distributed computing, and quantum sensing. Unlike classical netw…
Optimal Calibration of Quantum Network Links
Vinay Kumar, Claudio Cicconetti, Marco Conti +1
The reliable distribution of entanglement is essential for the effective operation of quantum networks. Due to fundamental differences between quantum and classical communication s…
Instruction-Set Architecture for Programmable NV-Center Quantum Repeater Nodes
Vinay Kumar, Claudio Cicconetti, Riccardo Bassoli +2
Programmability is increasingly central in emerging quantum network software stacks, yet the node-internal controller-to-hardware interface for quantum repeater devices remains und…
Quantum Internet: Technologies, Protocols, and Research Challenges
Vinay Kumar, Claudio Cicconetti, Marco Conti +1
As the field of the quantum internet advances, a comprehensive guide to navigate its complexities has become increasingly crucial. While quantum computing shares foundational princ…
Routing in Quantum Networks with End-to-End Knowledge
Vinay Kumar, Claudio Cicconetti, Marco Conti +1
Given the diverse array of physical systems available for quantum computing and the absence of a well-defined quantum internet protocol stack, the design and optimisation of quantu…
Routing in Quantum Repeater Networks with Mixed Efficiency Figures
Vinay Kumar, Claudio Cicconetti, Marco Conti +1
This study explores an approach to routing in quantum networks, which targets practical scenarios for quantum networks, mirroring real-world classical networks. By addressing pract…
