A Packet-Switching Method of Multipath Quantum Entanglement for Hybrid Quantum Networks
A packet-switching method of multipath quantum entanglement for hybrid quantum networks is pro-posed.Firstly,quantum messages to be sent are matched and grouped according to multipath resources calculated by centralized routing,and then the end-to-end multipath of quantum entanglement is established in parallel by vir-tual circuits,and control messages and measurement outcomes are transmitted by distributed routing datagrams.Fi-nally,the end-to-end transmission of quantum information is completed through quantum teleportation.This method combines the two technologies of packet switching:the virtual circuit and datagram,organically combines centralized routing and distributed routing,and then forms a new packet-transmission method of multipath quan-tum entanglement.This method improves the utilization rate of network resources,and achieves the effect of multi-channel parallelism,shunting and shortening the transmission time of quantum information.
