Speaker
Description
This presentation reports on two years of progress in InterQnet, a U.S. Department of Energy project advancing scalable, heterogeneous quantum networks through a full-stack co-design approach. We share quantitative insights from large-scale simulations, error-correction-aware architecture studies, and integration with experimental testbeds such as ArQNet. The talk highlights lessons learned in bridging abstract scalability models with real-world challenges in synchronization, orchestration, and cross-platform interoperability. For the research networking community, we outline how established principles in virtualization, orchestration, and performance benchmarking can inform the design of hybrid quantum-classical infrastructures and prepare NRENs for emerging quantum networking services.
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk?
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the technical and architectural progress made by InterQnet since its introduction at TNC24, along with lessons learned from integrating modeling, simulation, and experimental testbeds. The talk will also highlight how NRENs can prepare to support hybrid quantum–classical infrastructures as quantum networking research moves toward real-world deployment.
