Future practical implementation of secure quantum communication technology in a multiuser network environment would require automatic monitoring of the optical link condition and quantum system parameters, along with adjusting them in real time according to protocol restrictions. We demonstrate how software-defined networking (SDN) paradigm can be used for addressing this problem on the example of a subcarrier wave quantum communication system, which is promising for network applications.

The SECOQC quantum key distribution network in Vienna

The paper presents the architecture and functionality of the principal networking agent—the SECOQC node module, which enables the authentic classical communication required for key distillation, manages the generated key material, determines a communication path between any destinations in the network, and realizes end-to-end secure transport of key material between these destinations.

Software-defined quantum communication

The consideration of software-defined quantum communication (SDQC), which formalizes how the different functional layers in a quantum communication system are defined and developed, motivates the consideration of SDQC in this work.
