A Quantum Data Center Network Architecture

Yufeng Xin, Liang Zhang

Quantum entanglement generation and distribution is key to the vision for a Quantum Internet. Existing research has focused on entanglement routing schemes and QR performance in a general network setting with strong physical layer assumptions. In reality, the required quantum memory and quantum repeater devices along with the control protocols for general quantum networks remain grand challenges in the foreseeable future. Main performance concerns at the networking layer include entanglement distribution rate and fidelity. We thereafter propose to focus more research efforts on the quantum data center network due to its structured topology and potential to support emerging distributed quantum computing applications. This paper presents a quantum data center (QDC) network architecture with novel switch architecture and protocols that feature locally buffered entanglement qubits and centralized on-demand entanglement generation and distribution. Queueing models for the switches and large-scale network simulation with the NetSquid quantum simulator demonstrate the high network throughput, scalability, and fidelity performance for the proposed QDC network architecture and protocol.

Scalable low-latency entanglement distribution for distributed quantum computing

Jiapeng Zhao, Yang Xu, Xiyuan Lu +5 more

Practical distributed quantum computing and error correction require quantum networks with high-qubit-rate, high-fidelity, and low-reconfiguration-latency. Unfortunately, current approaches are limited by fundamental constraints: single-channel entanglement rates remain at the MHz level with millisecond-level reconfiguration, which is insufficient for fault-tolerant distributed quantum computing. Here, we propose a quantum network architecture that leverages reconfigurable quantum interfaces and wavelength-selective switches to overcome bandwidth and latency constraints. By tuning the frequency and temporal modes of photonic qubits across dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) channels, our protocol achieves an entanglement generation rate of up to 183.4 MHz based on our comprehensive modeling of the networked cold atom computing systems. Our architecture enables nanosecond-scale network reconfiguration with low loss, low infidelity, and high dimensionality. Our modeling and simulation are designed for deployable distributed quantum computing and error correction, integrating the quantum interface, network switching, circuit compilation, and execution into a unified framework. The proposed architecture is fully compatible with industry-standard DWDM infrastructure, providing a scalable and cost-effective foundation for distributed quantum computing.

Demonstration of a reconfigurable ground to space quantum networking scheme

Stéphane Vinet, Thomas D. Jennewein

Satellite-based quantum communication suffers from limited availability and important link losses. We demonstrate a simple reconfigurable network architecture dynamically switching between satellite-enabled and ground-based connectivity to optimize entanglement generation rates and the network’s functionality.
