Protocols for Packet Quantum Network Intercommunication

Understand

A quantum network, which involves multiple parties pinging each other with quantum messages, could revolutionize communication, computing and basic sciences.

• The future internet will be a global system of various packet switching quantum and classical networks and we call it \emph{quantum internet}.
• To build a quantum internet, unified protocols that support the distribution of quantum messages within it are necessary.
• Intuitively one would extend classical internet protocols to handle quantum messages.
