Abstract:
We’ll discuss the key differences between classical and quantum networking. In classical networks we traditionally directly transmit information and if it doesn’t arrive we send it again, something which is accommodated for in our TCP/IP networking protocols. Since arbitrary quantum information can’t be reproduces due to the no-cloning theorem, we have to reconsider how to transmit quantum information when networks are lossy or subject to errors. This leads to the notion of quantum communication via teleportation, mediated by an entanglement distribution network. We’ll discuss how entanglement distribution networks operate and how they can be combined into full-fledged quantum networking protocols.

Dr Peter Rohde is a Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Quantum Software & Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney and lead author of the newly-released book “The Quantum Internet” published by Cambridge University Press (https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/quantum-internet/8C8C709D5A393D16765116587A4E8A2C). When not researching quantum computing he is a mountaineer, rock-climber and all-round adrenaline junkie, but often combines them as per my profile picture.
