• Abstract summary: We describe a method of investigating the near-term potential of quantum communication technology for communication networks from the perspective of current networks. We integrate an instance of the quantum network simulator QuNetSim at the link layer into the communication network emulator ComNetsEmu. This novel augmented version of ComNetsEmu is thereby enabled to run arbitrary quantum protocols between any directly connected pair of network hosts.

• Abstract: We describe a method of investigating the near-term potential of quantum communication technology for communication networks from the perspective of current networks. For this, we integrate an instance of the quantum network simulator QuNetSim at the link layer into the communication network emulator ComNetsEmu. This novel augmented version of ComNetsEmu is thereby enabled to run arbitrary quantum protocols between any directly connected pair of network hosts. To give an example of the proposed method, we implement the link layer method of generating and storing entanglement while idle, to accelerate data transmission at later times using superdense coding.

  We elaborate on the design that uses entanglement and quantum teleportation to build the quantum backbone between packetized quantum networks. We design a network interface to interconnect packetized quantum networks with entanglement-based quantum backbone networks. For feasibility, we analyze various system parameters via simulation to benchmark the performance of the overall network.

  We use the open-source Simulator of QUantum Network Communication (SeQUeNCe), developed by our team, to simulate entanglement generation between two atomic frequency comb (AFC) absorptive quantum memories. We realize the representation of photonic quantum states within truncated Fock spaces in SeQUeNCe. We observe varying fidelity with SPDC source mean photon number, and varying entanglement generation rate with both mean photon number and memory mode number.

  This work presents an algorithm that generates entanglement between any two directly connected nodes of a quantum network. It paves the way for private inter-node quantum communication channels in the network. We show that after implementation, the probability of the walker being at all nodes other than the source and target is negligible.

• Demonstration of teleportation across a quantum network code [0.0]
  We study measurement-based quantum network coding (MQNC), which is a protocol particularly suitable for noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. In particular, we develop techniques to adapt MQNC to state-of-the-art superconducting processors and subsequently demonstrate successful teleportation of quantum information. The teleportation in our demonstration is shown to occur with fidelity higher than could be achieved via classical means, made possible by considering qubits from a polar cap of the Bloch Sphere.
