Abstract

A system for providing an entanglement distribution for quantum applications in form of an Entanglement Distribution as a Service (EDaaS), comprising:A network provider plane configured to manage the generation, distribution, forwarding, and storage of entangled quantum states across a quantum network, the network provider plane comprising:- One or more quantum optical elements especially single photon sources, fiber-optic links, beam splitters, single-photon detectors, and quantum memories for generating and maintaining entangled photonic states;- A quantum link layer providing quantum optical connections to distribute entangled photon states between directly connected network nodes;- A quantum network layer configured for dynamic routing of quantum states across multiple optical paths between network nodes;An Application Programming Interface (EdaaS-API) operable at the service level, said API comprising:- A state retrieval interface configured to provide applications with logical and physical addresses of stored quantum states within the quantum memories;- A Q-Push interface configured to enable the export of selected quantum states, based on physical storage addresses, over a quantum channel by triggering the release of entangled photon states;A software-defined network (SDN) management layer configured to dynamically manage the configuration, monitoring, and routing of entangled states across the quantum network, said SDN management layer comprising:- A service configuration module for the deployment and configuration of quantum optical connections;- A resource allocation module for dynamically routing quantum states through optimal optical paths in response to service demands.
