“…Finally, we observe that, among the EPR-based models, there is a clear boundary between the layers implementing quantum communications -physical entanglement layer in Van Meter's model [84] and physical layer in Wehner's model [81] -and layers that only exploit local operation and classical communications. This boundary cannot be explicitly drawn in the Dür et al's model.…”

“…In these works, the authors focus mainly on functionalities and protocols belonging to the lowest layers, namely, the physical and the link layers, characterized by being tailored for specific hardware. Subsequently, in [81] the link layer is revised for enabling the upper layers of the protocol stack to be independent from the underlying physical implementation, broadly referred to as platform.…”

Classical Internet evolved exceptionally during the last five decades, from a network comprising a few static nodes in the early days to a leviathan interconnecting billions of devices. This has been possible by the separation of concern principle, for which the network functionalities are organized as a stack of layers, each providing some communication functionalities through specific network protocols. In this survey, we aim at highlighting the impossibility of adapting the classical Internet protocol stack to the Quantum Internet, due to the marvels of quantum mechanics. Indeed, the design of the Quantum Internet requires a major paradigm shift of the whole protocol stack for harnessing the peculiarities of quantum entanglement and quantum information. In this context, we first overview the relevant literature about Quantum Internet protocol stack. Then, stemming from this, we sheds the light on the open problems and required efforts toward the design of an effective and complete Quantum Internet protocol stack. To the best of authors' knowledge, a survey of this type is the first of its own. What emerges from this analysis is that the Quantum Internet, though still in its infancy, is a disruptive technology whose design requires an inter-disciplinary effort at the border between quantum physics, computer and telecommunications engineering.This work was partially supported by project xxx.

“…Quantum teleportation requires end-to-end entanglement generation, i.e., probably the most important general-purpose service in the future Quantum Internet [28][29][30][31][32][33]. In Figure 6, an example of quantum network stack architecture, inspired by the TCP/IP one, is presented [34,35].…”

Private set intersection is an important problem with implications in many areas, ranging from remote diagnostics to private contact discovery. In this work, we consider the case of two-party PSI in the honest-but-curious setting. We propose a protocol that solves the serveraided PSI problem using delegated blind quantum computing. More specifically, the proposed protocol allows Alice and Bob (who do not have any quantum computational resources or quantum memory) to interact with Steve (who has a quantum computer) in order for Alice and Bob to obtain set intersection such that privacy is preserved. In particular, Steve learns nothing about the clients' input, output, or desired computation. The proposed protocol is correct, secure and blind against a malicious server, and characterized by a quantum communication complexity that is linear in the input size.keywords -private set intersection, measurement-based quantum computing, delegated blind quantum computing

“…Using frequency entanglement, optical techniques from classical networks such as wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) have been leveraged to perform entanglement distribution, forming rudimentary quantum local area networks (QLANs). Much like conventional routing protocols such as the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), the working principles of these QLANs can be described in layers of abstraction [21][22][23][24] as in Fig. 1.…”

We use a genetic algorithm (GA) as a design aid for determining the optimal provisioning of entangled photon spectrum in flex-grid quantum networks with arbitrary numbers of channels and users. After introducing a general model for entanglement distribution based on frequency-polarization hyperentangled biphotons, we derive upper bounds on fidelity and entangled bit rate for networks comprising one-to-one user connections. Simple conditions based on user detector quality and link efficiencies are found that determine whether entanglement is possible. We successfully apply a GA to find optimal resource allocations in four different representative network scenarios and validate features of our model experimentally in a quantum local area network in deployed fiber. Our results show promise for the rapid design of large-scale entanglement distribution networks.
