A Multiplane Architecture Proposal for the Quantum Internet
A consistent reference architecture model for the Quantum Internet is required to progress in its evolution, providing a framework for the integration of the protocols applicable to it, and enabling the advance of the applications based on it. This model has to satisfy three essential requirements: agility, so it is able to adapt to the evolution of quantum communications base technologies ...

Agenda IETF124: qirg
The QNCP aims to provide a robust framework for distributed quantum network operations, supporting the evolution of control needs from a local quantum network with multiple nodes to a geographically distributed network with domain agents and centralized orchestration.

Whilst quantum networks operate on a completely new set of physical principles, many lessons have been learned throughout the Internet's history and many of them will be relevant to the development of the Quantum Internet. Quantum networks will be embedded within non-quantum (classical) networks, as they require classical connectivity for ...

Post-Quantum Use In Protocols (pquip)
Some IETF protocols rely upon cryptographic mechanisms that are considered secure given today’s “classical computers” but would be vulnerable to attacks by a Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC).
