OpenFlow arbitrated programmable network channels for managing quantum metadata

Abstract: Quantum networks must classically exchange complex metadata between devices in order to carry out information for protocols such as teleportation, super-dense coding, and quantum key distribution. Demonstrating the integration of these new communication methods with existing network protocols, channels, and data forwarding mechanisms remains an open challenge. Software-defined networking (SDN) offers robust and flexible strategies for managing diverse network devices and uses. We adapt the principles of SDN to… Show more

“…To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of superdense coding over optical fiber and a step towards practical realization of superdense coding. Alongside our demonstration of a hybrid quantum-classical transfer protocol, these results represents a step toward the future integration of quantum communication with fiber-based networks [24,25]. This work was supported by the United States Army Research Laboratory.…”

“…Mininet is a powerful network simulator that is especially useful for experimenting with SDN applications [4]. To simply explain, one can pass it a file specifying the topology that one want to simulate and it establishes the environment using the Linux namespace software.…”
