• Abstract: Quantum Key Distribution has become a mature quantum technology that has outgrown dedicated links and is ready to be incorporated into the classical infrastructure. In this scenario with multiple potential nodes, it is crucial having efficient ways to allocate the network resources between all the potential users. We propose a simple method for routing and wavelength assignment in wavelength multiplexed networks in which classical and quantum channels coexist. The proposed heuristics take into account the specific requirements of quantum key distribution and focus on keeping at bay the contamination of the quantum channels by photons coming from the classical signals by non-linear processes, among others. These heuristics reduce the shared path between classical and quantum channels and improve the signal-to-noise ratio in the quantum channels, improving their quantum key rate. We compare the results to the usual classical RWA approach.

  In passive optical networks, we need to assign a full route between origin and destination with the same wavelength from a finite set. We adapt theses to hybrid quantum networks where the quantum channel can share some of the optical links with classical channels. By keeping the transmitted power to its bare functional minimum, we can reduce the interference to the quantum channels.
