Improving the efficiency of secret key rate in post-processing of QKD link

Host: Technical University of Ostrava (VSB), Czechia PhD Topic  By taking these high-fidelity post-processing of QKD, through advanced error correction (eg., LDPC, Polar codes) investigating, privacy amplification and key reconciliation optimization, and machine learning for dynamic protocol selection application, the stage of QKD post-processing will be widely enhanced. It will involve algorithm design and optimization with…

Quantum Internet Protocol Stack Design and Use-case Identification

Host: University of Naples Federico II (UNINA), Italy PhD Topic  Objectives- (a) Decomposing Quantum Internet functionalities: Fundamental quantum communication functions will be identified, such as for example entanglement distribution, measurement sharing and classical transmission. (b) Organizing these functions into modular, software-defined components suitable for integration within a Quantum Internet suite and or network testbeds, ensuring intra-protocol…
