Quantum Wrapper Networking for Entanglement Management and Control in Transparent Optical Quantum Networks
The overarching goal of this three-year project was to design and experimentally demonstrate a quantum wrapper networking (QWN) protocol and architecture for entanglement management and control in coexisted classical-quantum networks, facilitating a global quantum Internet. In QWN, the quantum payload (qubits) is wrapped with classical bits as a header. The classical bits facilitate end-to-end transport of the quantum payload without having to read or alter the quantum data payload at intermediate switches and routers.
