Trade-offs in quantum resources required for distributed architectures

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…

Analysis and implementation of advanced quantum networking protocols

Host: Sorbonne Université (SU), France PhD Topic To conduct analysis and execution of cutting-edge, already secure protocols, that come with quantum advantages like those for anonymous transmission and secure multiparty computation. This will entail the simulation using NetSquid and the experimental demonstration of the use of the entangled photon sources. It will be a mixture of…

Distributed decision making for complex quantum networks

Host: South East Technological University (SETU), Ireland PhD Topic The goal is to develop algorithms for optimal resource sharing in probabilistic quantum networks. Modelling the nonlinear dynamics is part of the development process and will make use of functional graph representations for the resource allocation and distributed decision-making mechanisms inspired by cellular automata and coupled oscillators.…

Capacity bounds of realistic co-existing classical-quantum networks

Host: South East Technological University (SETU), Ireland PhD Topic The capacity limits for quantum optical channels that co-exist with classical signals will be established. The project is going to create mathematical models for the combining of classical-quantum channels, receiver and coding designs will be optimized under the presence of noise, and the network capacities will be…
