The Quantum Internet (QI) a global network interconnecting remote quantum devices is envisioned as the final stage of the quantum revolution, unlocking unprecedent communication functionalities. However, the key engineering challenge yet to be solved is the design of a protocol suite for the QI that can fully leverage the marvels of quantum mechanics. Current state-of-the-art proposals for the QI protocol suite adopt a layering model, mimicking TCP/IP standard-de-facto protocol stack of classical Internet. But this design choice limits the embrace of quantum features to the message delivered by the network, by leaving fundamental network functionalities to operate classically.
Conversely, here, I PROPOSE a different and novel design, aiming at embracing the quantum marvels, not only in the message but also in key network functionalities, enabling so a quantum-native functioning for the QI. The VISION is that this design will unlock ground-breaking communication opportunities, as new forms of network resilience. QNattyNet overall GOAL is to design a protocol suite capturing the complexity of the quantum functioning by implementing a major paradigm-shift: from hierarchical protocol relationships to dynamic relationships. This goal will be pursued through 3 scientific objectives:
- To design innovative protocols and functionalities for the QI by exploiting the quantum functioning.
- To design a protocol suite for the QI able to capture the complexity of the quantum functioning.
- To develop the QNattyNet simulator for supporting both the research community and the industry in the design and evaluation of quantum networks.
This project is expected to have a deep impact towards deployment of the QI outside the laboratories into real world, by providing (through the designed protocol suite) a hardware-agnostic high-level abstraction of the network functionalities, which is pivotal for the successful development of standards and certifications for the QI.
