论文摘要
量子技术革命带来了量子互联网的承诺。将需要一个新的 - 量子 - 网络堆栈来说明量子纠缠的新属性。量子网络的第一个实现迫在眉睫，对量子网络协议的研究兴趣已经开始增长。在非量词世界中，可编程数据平面打破了协议堆栈的骨化模式，并启用了一个新的 - 软件定义的 - 网络软件体系结构。同样，可编程量子数据平面可以为软件定义的量子网络体系结构铺平道路。在本文中，我们演示了如何使用P4 $ _ {16} $探索量子网络的抽象和设备体系结构。
The quantum technology revolution brings with it the promise of a quantum internet. A new -- quantum -- network stack will be needed to account for the fundamentally new properties of quantum entanglement. The first realisations of quantum networks are imminent and research interest in quantum network protocols has started growing. In the non-quantum world, programmable data planes have broken the pattern of ossification of the protocol stack and enabled a new -- software-defined -- network software architecture. Similarly, a programmable quantum data plane could pave the way for a software-defined quantum network architecture. In this paper, we demonstrate how we use P4$_{16}$ to explore abstractions and device architectures for quantum networks.
