论文摘要
量子互联网通过在远程量子节点之间启用量子通信，是一个能够支持古典世界中没有直接对应的功能的网络。实际上，通过量子互联网提供的网络和通信功能，远程量子设备可以通过采用分布式计算方法来通信和合作，以解决挑战的计算任务。本文的目的是为读者提供有关分布式量子计算生态系统的主要挑战和开放问题的概述。为此，我们从通信工程的角度提供了一项调查，按照自下而上的方法进行调查。我们首先将量子互联网作为分布式量子计算生态系统的基本基础架构引入基础。然后，我们通过详细介绍分布式量子计算生态系统的高级系统抽象。通过一组逻辑层描述了这样的抽象。因此，我们澄清了上述层之间的依赖性，同时出现了路线图。
The Quantum Internet, by enabling quantum communications among remote quantum nodes, is a network capable of supporting functionalities with no direct counterpart in the classical world. Indeed, with the network and communications functionalities provided by the Quantum Internet, remote quantum devices can communicate and cooperate for solving challenging computational tasks by adopting a distributed computing approach. The aim of this paper is to provide the reader with an overview about the main challenges and open problems arising with the design of a Distributed Quantum Computing ecosystem. For this, we provide a survey, following a bottom-up approach, from a communications engineering perspective. We start by introducing the Quantum Internet as the fundamental underlying infrastructure of the Distributed Quantum Computing ecosystem. Then we go further, by elaborating on a high-level system abstraction of the Distributed Quantum Computing ecosystem. Such an abstraction is described through a set of logical layers. Thereby, we clarify dependencies among the aforementioned layers and, at the same time, a road-map emerges.
