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…
Dynamic Entanglement Packet Scheduling for Quantum Networks
Quang-Phong Tran, Claudio Cicconetti, Marco Conti +1
Sharing entanglement among multiple users remains a central challenge for scalable quantum networks. Recent work proposed an on-demand entanglement packet architecture in which a c…
HOPPER: A Hop-by-hop Entanglement Distribution Protocol for Asynchronous Quantum Networks
Claudio Cicconetti
The quantum Internet relies on the ability to distribute entangled quantum bits (ebits) between quantum memories at the end nodes, to perform applications like blind or distributed…
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…
