Quantum Communication Networks

Focusing on the evolution of communication networks, this book explores the integration of computing and storage into traditional transport systems. It highlights innovative 'softwarized' solutions aimed at minimizing latency and enhancing resilience, while addressing the challenges of computing latency and energy consumption. The authors propose hybrid classical-quantum communication networks as a viable solution to these issues. By intertwining concepts from quantum networking, information theory, computing, and simulation, the book offers a comprehensive perspective on the future of quantum communication.
