Seminar Kommunikationssysteme (Quantum Networking)

Quantum Networking

Quantum networking represents a revolutionary leap in communication technology, which leverages the principles of quantum physics to enable secure and efficient data transmission. The seminar will cover critical topics in quantum networking including Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols for secure communication, the role of quantum repeaters in achieving long-distance entanglement, and routing algorithms based on metrics such as entanglement fidelity, latency, and availability. Additionally, we will discuss simulation tools and testbeds to explore quantum networking algorithms. Moreover, we will explore the architecture of the quantum internet and its integration with existing technologies. Furthermore, we will discuss potential applications in fields like distributed quantum computing and secure cryptographic systems. Students will also examine the current challenges facing quantum networking, such as decoherence, scalability, and noise management, as well as ongoing research to address these barriers.
