Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to gather contributions in the form of original research papers, exploring developments and advancements in the field of “Quantum Technologies for Communications and Networks Security”. The rapid evolution of quantum technology is paving the way for the emerging fields of quantum communications and networking, leading to the design of the Quantum Internet. Considering the crucial role of distributed and secure quantum applications, there have been several initiatives to develop and test Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)-based links on different geographical scales, as well as various projects focused on investigating and implementing QKD services. However, there are still several open issues for both standardization and research activities towards a comprehensive and effective definition of entangle-based networks, which are addressed by this Special Issue.
The potential topics include but are not limited to:
- E2E Quantum Security Design;
- QKD Architectures and Protocols;
- Quantum Distributed Computing and Cloud Security;
- Quantum Programming and Algorithms;
- Quantum Imaging and Sensing;
- Quantum Machine Learning;
- Software Defined Quantum Networking;
- Quantum Repeaters Architectures;
- Quantum Detectors and Antennas;
- Single-Photon Sources and Detectors
