Desafios e oportunidades de pesquisa para o roteamento em redes quânticas

Abstract: Communication between quantum devices has been advancing towards networks of complex topologies and long distances. However, intrinsic limitations of quantum signals mean that they cannot be replicated or amplified, making it difficult to adopt traditional routing techniques. Furthermore, the heterogeneity of technologies and different hardware implementations, and the lack of a well-defined Internet network stack model, open up several challenges to fully realize communication between quantum devices. Thus, this article presents the main challenges in the development of algorithms and routing protocols for quantum networks and discusses possible alternatives that are being developed
