Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate quantum channel monitoring by wavelength-time multiplexing of classical wrapper bits with quantum payloads. Bit-error-rate measurements of 5 Gb/s classical bits infer the coincidence-to-accidental ratio of the quantum channel up to 13.3 dB.

Experimental demonstration of optical packet switching in quantum wrapper networks

Mehmet Berkay On, Sunil Kumar Singh, G. Gül +4 more

We experimentally demonstrate optical packet switching for quantum payloads and classical burst headers in a three-node quantum wrapper network. Further, we record coincidence count distributions of polarization-entangled photon pairs between the source node and two distinct destination nodes and measure the coincidence-to-accidental ratio above 6.02.

Experimental Demonstration of Datagram Switching With Monitoring in Quantum Wrapper Networks

Mehmet Berkay On, Roberto Proietti, Gamze Gül +4 more

Adapting the architecture and protocols of classical networks to quantum networking is challenging due to the quantum mechanical properties. In this paper, we utilize a Quantum Wrapper Networking architecture that enables transparent and interoperable transportation of quantum wrapper (QW) datagrams, consisting of quantum payloads and classical headers, over optical fiber networks. We experimentally demonstrate end-to-end transportation of QW datagrams in a three-node packet-switched optical network testbed. The header and payload of a QW datagram are multiplexed in time and wavelength, i.e., the 1561.41 nm header precedes the L-band payload. A QW switch/router performs packet switching by reading the headers, generating new headers, and routing the datagrams to their destinations without disturbing quantum information in the payload. We use 20 km fiber links from the source to two distinct destinations in the testbed. Our experiments show$>$22 coincidence-to-accidental ratio (CAR) for both destinations at two different wavelength channels and clear visibility,$>$79%. We further investigate impairments such as chromatic dispersion and wavelength-dependent polarization rotations in the fiber. We observe that the classical headers' bit-error rate (BER) and the quantum payloads' CAR are correlated under the wavelength-independent channel attenuation. Thus, QW network control and management can utilize a type of performance monitoring. We also discuss the QW datagram design constraints and future fast packet switching implementations.

Quantum Wrapper Networking

S. J. Ben Yoo, Sandeep Kumar Singh, Mehmet Berkay On +4 more

We propose Quantum Wrapper as a novel networking technology that enables simultaneous control, management, and operation of quantum networks that coexist with classical networks. The quantum wrapper networks enable the transparent and interoperable transportation of quantum wrapper datagrams consisting of quantum payloads and, notably, classical headers, to facilitate the datagram switching without measuring or disturbing the qubits of the quantum payload. Furthermore, quantum wrapper networks can utilize the common network control and management for performance monitoring on the classical header, and infer the quantum channel quality.
