Quantum Enhanced (Classical and Quantum) Communications and Networking

– Quantum enhanced classical laser communications: Information theoretic limits [1–3], designs of quantum-enhanced receivers [4–8], quantum-circuit-realizations of quantum-optimal receivers [9,10], error correction codes [11,12], and the use of pre-shared entanglement as a resource to boost classical communications [13].
– Quantum communications: Information theoretic limits [14], quantum error correction codes [15–17], system designs involving spin-photon interfaces [18] and photonic entanglement sources [19], and end-to-end quantum repeater architectures for long-distance reliable communications of quantum information [20–22].
– Quantum networking: algorithms and policies for switching [23,24] and routing [25–27] of entanglement in a distributed quantum network, rate regions for simultaneous distribution of different forms of entanglement [28].

“We will leverage a quantum network testbed — of our recently-awarded NSF Engineering Research Center: the “Center for Quantum Networks” led by University of Arizona in partnership with MIT, Harvard, Yale and several other institutions — for rapid prototyping, benchmarking and scaling up trapped-ion-based quantum routers to be built in the UMD-led Convergence Accelerator program,” says Saikat Guha.

UArizona Awarded $26M NSF Grant to establish center for quantum networks

NSF Announces: New NSF engineering research centers focus on health, transportation, quantum tech and agriculture

NSF Engineering Research Center for Quantum Networks aims to create foundations for the future quantum internet by developing key quantum technologies and new functional building blocks connecting quantum processors over local and global scales. The center involves four partner universities: University of Arizona (lead), Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University.

National Science Foundation invests $104 million to launch four new engineering research centers*

University of Arizona gets $26M grant to help build quantum internet*
