    Quantum Networking and Internet (2020-2021)

    Course Overview:
    This course is aimed at Graduate IT student wishing to understand the exciting new
    world of Quantum networking and quantum Internet. Quantum networks are
    emerging sciences and anticipated to be the core networking technologies in the
    future. This course introduces the keys concepts important for understanding, testing,
    analyzing and improving the performance of quantum communication networks
    which are the fundamental way to the quantum internet. It will have particular focus
    on actual quantum networks currently being deployed and the use of such networks
    for secure information transfer. The course will clarify how to send qubits from one
    network node to the other. This allows us to create quantum entanglement between
    any tow points on a network. And entanglement is actually still mysterious science. It
    has two properties: it is inherently private, which enables secure communication, and
    it allows complete coordination. And this makes it extremely powerful for tasks like
    clock synchronisation. There are very many applications already known for such
    entanglement. So this is really the objective of this course. So a quantum internet is
    now at a very similar stage than a classical internet was in the past when invented, and
    this course will focus on that.
