Architecture, Algorithms, and Protocols of a Quantum Computer and Quantum Internet
Dear learners,
Welcome to the MOOC: Quantum Communication and the Quantum Network Explorer.
This course is designed to introduce you to the fascinating field of quantum networks and quantum communication. It will focus on protocol and application development and the simulation of quantum networks. The course begins with a brief overview of quantum networks, followed by the exploration of the tools provided by QuTech’s Quantum Network Explorer (QNE), such as the QNE Community Application Library (QNE-CAL), the QNE Application Development Kit (QNE-ADK), and SquidASM, an advanced application simulator. You will gain an understanding of established quantum network applications, including quantum key distribution (QKD), teleportation, and blind quantum computation (BQC). Additionally, you will learn how to modify existing applications and develop new ones using the QNE Application Development Kit (QNE-ADK). The course also includes a comprehensive tutorial on SquidASM, which is designed for advanced simulations of quantum network applications.
The course is a journey of discovery, so we encourage you to bring your own experiences, insights and thoughts via the forum. Our Community TAs will be available during working days to support you. We aim to answer all your questions within 24 hours.
We hope you enjoy the course with us!
Kind Regards,
The course team
