- Abstract: With the recent developments in engineering quantum systems, the realization
of scalable local-area quantum networks has become viable. However, the design
and implementation of a quantum network is a holistic task that is way beyond
the scope of an abstract design problem. As such, a testbed on which multiple
disciplines can verify the design and implementation across a full networking
stack has become a necessary infrastructure for the future development of
quantum networks. In this work, we demonstrate the concept of quantum internet
service provider (QISP), in analogy to the conventional ISP that allows for the
sharing of classical information between the network nodes. The QISP is
significant for the next-generation quantum networks as it coordinates the
production, management, control, and sharing of quantum information across the
end-users of a quantum network. We construct a reconfigurable QISP comprising
both the quantum hardware and classical control software. Building on the
fiber-based quantum-network testbed of the Center for Quantum Networks (CQN) at
the University of Arizona (UA), we develop an integrated QISP prototype based
on a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) architecture, whose classical control
software is abstracted and modularized as an open-source QISP framework. To
verify and characterize the QISP's performance, we demonstrate multi-channel
entanglement distribution and routing among multiple quantum-network nodes with
a time-energy entangled-photon source. We further perform field tests of
concurrent services for multiple users across the quantum-network testbed. Our
experiment demonstrates the robust capabilities of the QISP, laying the
foundation for the design and verification of architectures and protocols for
future quantum networks.
