Abstract: The main service provided by the coming Quantum Internet will be creating entanglement between any two quantum nodes. We discuss and classify attacks on quantum repeaters, which will serve roles similar to those of classical Internet routers. We have modeled the components for and structure of quantum repeater network nodes. With this model, we point out attack vectors, then analyze attacks in terms of confidentiality, integrity and availability. While we are reassured about the promises of quantum networks from the confidentiality point of view, integrity and availability present new vulnerabilities not present in classical networks and require care to handle properly. We observe that the requirements on the classical computing/networking elements affect the systems' overall security risks. This component-based analysis establishes a framework for further investigation of network-wide vulnerabilities.

Guarantees on the structure of experimental quantum networks [109.08741987555818]
Quantum networks connect and supply a large number of nodes with multi-party quantum resources for secure communication, networked quantum computing and distributed sensing. As these networks grow in size, certification tools will be required to answer questions regarding their properties. We demonstrate a general method to guarantee that certain correlations cannot be generated in a given quantum network.

Hierarchical certification of nonclassical network correlations [50.32788626697182]
We derive linear and nonlinear Bell-like inequalities for networks, whose violation certifies the absence of a minimum number of classical sources in them. We insert this assumption, which leads to results more amenable to certification in experiments.

An Evolutionary Pathway for the Quantum Internet Relying on Secure Classical Repeaters [64.48099252278821]
We conceive quantum networks using secure classical repeaters combined with the quantum secure direct communication principle. In these networks, the ciphertext gleaned from a quantum-resistant algorithm is transmitted using QSDC along the nodes. We have presented the first experimental demonstration of a secure classical repeater based hybrid quantum network.
