Description

Quantum communications and networks will enable the exchange of quantum information between remote quantum devices. We invite submissions of original research papers that make significant contributions to the theoretical and practical aspects of quantum networking. We also encourage submissions that address novel ideas, challenges, and applications in these areas, as well as interdisciplinary works that bridge the gap between quantum networks and other fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,

Track Topics

• Entanglement generation, scheduling, and distribution
• Entanglement purification and distillation
• Quantum network coding
• Quantum repeater architectures
• Long-distance quantum communications
• Routing in quantum networks
• Queuing analysis in quantum networks
• Quantum network simulators
• Entanglement network testbeds
• Quantum Internet protocol stacks
• Quantum communication protocols
• Quantum network architectures, protocols, and design principles
• Congestion control and resource allocation for quantum networks
• Quantum network management
• Interoperability between quantum and classical networks
• Local-area quantum networks and quantum cloud
