SDN control planes for quantum systems

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…

Influence of topology in designing & operation of distributed quantum networks

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…
