Quantum Communication Networks

Focusing on the advancements in quantum communication networks, the authors explore the necessary paradigm shifts to integrate computing and storage into existing transport frameworks. They highlight innovative 'softwarized' solutions that enhance network resilience and reduce latency, while addressing challenges like computing latency and energy use. The discussion emphasizes the potential of hybrid classical-quantum networks to overcome these issues, merging concepts from quantum networking, information theory, computing, and simulation for a comprehensive understanding of the field.
