From quantum links to applications

We connect the design of quantum networks with the applications they enable, combining protocol design, analysis, simulation, and benchmarking.

01

Quantum network architectures & routing

We study how quantum links, repeaters, and network protocols fit together. Our work spans link-level control, entanglement routing, request scheduling, and the allocation of network resources to applications.

02

Multipartite entanglement

We analyze multipartite entanglement in quantum networks: how it is shared across nodes and how its properties shape the applications a network can support. This connects the study of quantum resources with protocol and application design.

03

Quantum key distribution

We investigate how quantum key distribution (QKD) can support secure communications in practical systems. Our work includes QKD applications, pilots, and the integration of key-distribution services with edge computing and network orchestration.

04

Benchmarking & performance

We develop benchmarking systems and simulation tools that connect the behavior of quantum links and protocols to application performance. Reproducible experiments help us compare designs and understand their resource requirements.

05

Secure learning & coordination

We explore quantum-enabled secure collaborative learning, alongside the design and analysis of coordination applications that use quantum networks. Application requirements guide our work on the underlying protocols and shared entanglement resources.

06

Distributed quantum computing

We study how quantum networks can support computation across multiple nodes, with a focus on distributed measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC). We also investigate blind quantum computing (BQC), in which a client delegates a computation while protecting its privacy.
