Host: TU Delft, Netherlands PhD Topic The innovative quantum network applications are recognized and characterized, such as quantum conferencing, distributed sensing, and secure multi-party computation. The performance of these protocols on near-term quantum devices will be analysed in the project. The defining of functional requirements, the simulating of protocol performance with Quantum Internet Alliance tools, and…
Host: Trinity College Dublin (TCD), Ireland PhD Topic The PhD candidate will deal with the definition of control architectures for the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) dedicated to entanglement distribution. The project will transition quantum SDN into the area of the existing optical SDN and then scrutinize these architectures concerning their scalability and performance. Furthermore, simulation tools such…
Host: Trinity College Dublin (TCD), Ireland PhD Topic The project will focus on the modelling of quantum network functions through the use of dependency graphs, Petri-nets, and Bayesian networks. Furthermore, it will introduce random network and small-world models and employ a game-theoretical framework based on quantum mechanics for the purposes of optimizing entanglement distribution and topology…
Host: Sorbonne Université (SU), France PhD Topic The focus will be on distributed architectures for sensing and computing, and the aim will be to optimize the usage of entangled resources considering the different practical limitations such as noise, storage efficiency, and heralding success probabilities. The first step is to create an analytical framework, then to make…
