Routing in Multihop Quantum Networks

The project explores the challenges and solutions for efficiently routing quantum information in multihop quantum networks. Quantum networks leverage the principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement, to enable secure and high-capacity communication. Unlike classical networks, quantum networks face unique challenges due to the fragile nature of quantum states and the need for specialized protocols to handle quantum information. The project focuses on developing routing algorithms and strategies to optimize the placement of repeaters, allocation of quantum resources including qubits and quantum memory, and transmission of quantum data across multiple nodes in a quantum network.

The project has the potential to significantly improve the scalability, efficiency and reliability of quantum networks. This could pave the way of deployment of quantum technology for practical applications across large-area requiring multihop communication and distributed quantum computing, and the eventual configuration of quantum internet. The project contributes to the growing field of quantum networking, offering solutions that bridge the gap between theoretical research and real-world applications.
