Software Architecture for Operation and Use of Quantum Communications Networks
May 2023 • Dinesh Verma, Eden Figueroa, G. Carini, Mark A. Ritter
Quantum Communications Networks using the properties of qubits, namely state superposition, no-cloning and entanglement, can enable the exchange of information in a very secure manner across optical links or free space. New innovations enable the use of optical repeaters as well as multi-cast communication in the networks. Some types of quantum communications mechanisms can be implemented at room-temperature instead of requiring super-cooled systems. This makes it likely that business impact from quantum communica…
