Recent advances in quantum information processing like quantum key distribution (QKD) are already in deployment ensuring secure end-to-end communication. This is especially important today, because of the risk posed by quantum computing to current Internet-based encryption technology such as RSA. At the same time there is a multitude of emerging quantum information based technologies with a high promise of revolutionizing their respective areas of application. These include ultra-high-precision distributed sensing with applications to metrology and science discovery (e.g., LIGO), much higher-rate deep space optical communications than possible with conventional systems, and polynomial speedups on search with implications to big data. Most of these applications are enabled by high-rate distributed shared quantum entanglement between pairs and groups of users. The goal of this project is to develop a distributed infrastructure in the form of a quantum network to enable reliable, large scale quantum entanglement distribution. Progress in that direction will catalyze quantum computing advances in the same way the Internet boosted computing to conquer most aspects of contemporary economy and society.The goal of the project is the fully-informed study of the design and operation of quantum networks combining physical-layer device noise models with the ground-up development of higher-layer network protocols. It aspires to bridge the intellectual gap between the quantum information and physics communities who are the ones primarily involved in developing quantum communication protocols, and the networking community who have decades of experience in the design and analysis of practical computer and communication networks. The proposed research will both: (a) inform device needs and specifications pushed down by network application requirements; and (b) help develop network routing and resource allocation protocols optimized for device quality metrics, such as quantum memory coherence times and detector excess noise. The project will culminate in the development of new tools and algorithms for a completely new family of networking protocols for a problem set up and resource constraints that have no immediate classical analogues.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

量子信息处理（例如量子密钥分布（QKD））的最新进展已经在部署中确保安全的端到端通信。今天，这尤其重要，因为量子计算对当前基于Internet的加密技术（例如RSA）带来的风险。同时，有许多新兴的基于量子信息的技术，其较高的希望彻底改变了其各自的应用领域。其中包括超高精度分布式传感，以及用于计量和科学发现的应用（例如Ligo），比传统系统的更高速率的深空光学通信以及对搜索的多项式加速，对大数据有影响。这些应用程序中的大多数是通过对用户组和用户组之间的高率分布式共享量子纠缠启用的。该项目的目的是以量子网络的形式开发分布式基础架构，以实现可靠的大规模量子纠缠分布。朝这个方向的进步将以相同的方式催化量子计算的进步，以征服当代经济和社会的大多数方面。该项目的目的是对结合物理层设备噪声模型的量子网络的设计和操作的完全了解的研究，并进行了高层网络协议的基础开发。它渴望弥合主要参与量子通信协议的量子信息与物理社区之间的智力差距，以及在实用计算机和通信网络的设计和分析方面拥有数十年经验的网络社区。拟议的研究将同时：（a）为网络应用程序需求推动的设备需求和规格提供信息； （b）有助于开发针对设备质量指标（例如量子内存相干时间和检测器多余噪声）优化的网络路由和资源分配协议。该项目将在开发新的工具和算法的开发中为解决问题的全新网络协议和没有立即经典类似的资源约束的全新家族而言。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的。
