Our PI Prof. Angela Sara Cacciapuoti has been invited to give a talk at the IEEE Future Networks AI/ML Working Group webinar, jointly organized by the AI/ML and Quantum IT Working Groups.Her presentation, “Entanglement-Defined Networking”, will explore how entanglement-driven resources require a rethinking of network architectures, control mechanisms, and protocol design for the future Quantum Internet. The talk will also present Q2NS, a hybrid co-simulation framework developed to investigate quantum networking systems at scale.
Here is the abstract:
Entanglement challenges some of the most established assumptions of classical networking, as it is a network resource with no counterpart in the classical Internet: it is non-local, stateful, and short-lived. This talk explores the idea of entanglement-defined networking, in which the properties of entanglement shape how network control and protocol organization are conceived. The discussion highlights why control must become entanglement-aware, why topology-driven abstractions alone are no longer sufficient, and why rigid layering gives way to more adaptive forms of protocol organization. The talk also briefly presents Q2NS, a hybrid co-simulation framework for studying these ideas at scale. Overall, the talk promotes a resource-driven view of the Quantum Internet, in which architecture and protocol organization are designed around entanglement rather than inherited classical abstractions.
