A focus on Quantum Communication
Quantum entanglement implies a strong correlation between the states of the individual components of a system regardless of their physical separation. This unique characteristic of quantum systems, not present in classical systems, enables an achievable advantage when processing information in the quantum state. To scale quantum computers, the communication between them may become decisive. There are ways in which quantum communications can be more efficient than its classical counterpart. The benefits of quantum computation are potentially realized when that computation occurs in a distributed manner and hence requires a quantum network to join those computational elements together. This clearly places the prospect of quantum communication in Cisco’s wheelhouse.A wide range of technical issues to solve
Long-distance quantum communication is raising a number of questions that are not yet answered. There are different modes of operations that a quantum network could have, each of them requiring quantum repeaters to guaranty end-to-end communication. All these modes come with their challenges in terms of communication rate, quantum memory management or cost of the network. This leads to the following set of problems to address:-
