Track: Programmable Real-Time Networks |
| Programmable Quantum Communications Networks |
| Quantum Communications Networks have their unique communications characteristics and have the potential to enable significant support for both traditional computer applications as well as quantum computer applications. Although still in experimental stage, they are likely to become a reality in the near future. Developing a control software for quantum communications networks, which allows the quantum communications networks to complement the capabilities of a traditional communication network can yield a significant number of new applications and solutions. In these configurations, a quantum network complements a communications network, enabling two channels of communication between any two nodes. By making the control software of this network programmable, the operation of both channels can be improved. IBM Research and Brookhaven National Laboratories are exploring the development of a common control software for quantum communications networks. In this talk, we will discuss that activity, and explore how adding programmability to the control software can be valuable in the context of such multi-channel networks. |
