Keynote: The Quantum Internet: Recent Advances and Challenges
>> presentation @YouTube, @Bilibili
Prof. Don Towsley (College of Information & Computer Sciences, University of Massachusetts Amherst)

Abstract:
Quantum information processing is at the cusp of having a significant impact on technology and society in the form of providing unbreakable security, ultra-high-precision distributed sensing with applications to metrology and science discovery (e.g., LIGO), and polynomial speeds up on search with implications to big data. Most of these applications are enabled by high-rate distributed shared entanglement between pairs and groups of users. A critical missing component that prevents crossing this threshold is a distributed infrastructure in the form of a world-wide “Quantum Internet” to enable this. This motivates our study of quantum networks, namely what is the right architecture and how should it be operated, i.e., route multiple quantum information flows, and dynamically allocate resources fairly.
In this talk I will review a specific class of quantum networks - those that generate and distribute entangled quantum states to pairs or groups of users. I will present opportunities and challenges related to resource sharing in such networks focusing on similarities to and differences from classical networks. I will also present challenges of analyzing the performance of such networks. I will end the talk with a list of open problems.

Extended material:
Here are pointers to materials if you want to follow up on Quantum Networking.

• There are two websites:
  • The first includes a nice set of lectures covering the basics of quantum computing by Ryan O’Donell at CMU: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~odonnell/quantum18/
  • The second contains a nice set of course notes by David Mermin here that were made into a very readable introduction to quantum computing for computer scientists: N.D. Mermin. Quantum Computer Science: An Introduction, Cambridge University Press, 2007.
• The most comprehensive text on quantum computing is: M.A. Nielsen, I.L. Chuang. Quantum Computation and Quantum Information, Cambridge University Press, 2011.
• There is also a quantum networking book by Rodney Van Meter, Quantum Networking 1st edition (2014).
• An overview of some of the issues regarding quantum networks can be found in: AJG Abelém, G Vardoyan, D Towsley. Quantum Internet: The Future of Internetworking, Sociedade Brasileira de Computação, 2020 (PDF from sbc.org.br).
