Description
Cisco Research is seeking proposals from academic researchers to advance the field of quantum networks for distributed quantum computing and distributed quantum sensing. The initiative targets innovative architectures and protocols for dynamic quantum entanglement networks, development of hardware and experimental methods for interconnecting quantum computers and sensors, and creation of network-aware algorithms for entanglement distillation, distributed error correction, and circuit partitioning. Proposals for modeling, simulation, and emulation tools to study these networks are also encouraged. The goal is to accelerate the practical realization and efficiency of quantum networking technologies, contributing to the foundation of the future Quantum Internet.
