Quantum Communication and Quantum Internet Applications

Omtale

Quantum computing, particularly in conjunction with a high level of interconnectivity facilitated by quantum connectivity, can facilitate a host of new, previously unattainable applicationsthese include blind quantum computation, (information) teleporting, clock synchronization, quantum key distribution, secure access to remote quantum computers, superdense coding, secure identification, distributed sensors, and other scientific and commercial applications. Quantum Communication and Quantum Internet Applications is a basic introduction to quantum computing and presents the emerging foundations of quantum communications and applications. Written for telecommunications professionals, the book explains basic principles of quantum mechanics and strives to make quantum science accessible. This book is a point of departure into the application of quantum computing and mechanics to communications. Features include: An introductory overview of quantum communicationsBasic and advanced mathematical concepts in quantum physicsBasic physical technologiesAn overview of quantum computers and their role as nodes in the quantum internet (i.e., the Quaint)Quantum communications, including logical architectures and the QuaintQuantum-based securitySoftware tools to develop networked quantum applications.Glossaries of terms and concepts.The book synthetizes background material on quantum computing so that telecom managers and other telecom professionals can get a basic understanding of this computing discipline and its application to telecom. It is a guide to the newly emerging fields of quantum communications, quantum internet, remote connectivity, and networking.
