Routing Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning in Quantum Key Distribution-secured Optical Networks

Purva Sharma, Vimal Bhatia, Shashi Prakash

Routing is a challenging problem in quantum key distribution (QKD)-secured optical networks (QKD-ONs) and involves the selection of an appropriate route that establishes a secure path between the QKD nodes for secret key distribution. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is a promising approach for solving decision-making problems in complex networking environments such as QKD-ONs. By leveraging the capabilities of DRL algorithms, the routing decisions can be optimized to enhance network performance. This paper proposes a DRL-based solution for routing in QKD-ONs that enables the routing agent to learn and adapt to changing network conditions by understanding the networking environment. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared with the baseline schemes on NSFNET in terms of blocking probability. Simulation results indicate that compared to the baseline schemes (shortest path (SP) and hop count (HC)), the proposed DRL-based routing scheme reduces the blocking by 14.31% and 8%, respectively.

Adaptive Entanglement Routing with Deep Q-Networks in Quantum Networks

Lamarana Jallow, Majid Iqbal Khan

The quantum internet holds transformative potential for global communication by harnessing the principles of quantum information processing. Despite significant advancements in quantum communication technologies, the efficient distribution of critical resources, such as qubits, remains a persistent and unresolved challenge. Conventional approaches often fall short of achieving optimal resource allocation, underscoring the necessity for more effective solutions. This study proposes a novel reinforcement learning-based adaptive entanglement routing framework designed to enable resource allocation tailored to the specific demands of quantum applications. The introduced QuDQN model utilizes reinforcement learning to optimize the management of quantum networks, allocate resources efficiently, and enhance entanglement routing. The model integrates key considerations, including fidelity requirements, network topology, qubit capacity, and request demands.
