Abstract
The Quantum Internet, namely, the global communication network interconnecting heterogeneous quantum networks, is governed by the laws of quantum mechanics which impose constraints with no counterpart in the classical networks. Indeed, the communication primitives underlying the classical Internet are challenged in the Quantum Internet. This thesis delves into the design of the Quantum Internet by deeply investigating the impact of quantum phenomena on communication protocols and network functionalities. Specifically, this thesis examines in depth the impact of the most distinctive feature of quantum mechanics, namely, quantum entanglement, on the Quantum Internet protocol stack design. Entanglement plays a pivotal role, serving not only as a key communication resource but also as an enabler for quantum network functionalities. Indeed, it enables a new concept of connectivity which profoundly impacts the design of the Quantum Internet protocol stack. Stemming from such a deep analysis, this thesis investigates different network functionalities, including the entanglement access. Specifically, the entanglement access is examined with the design and the analysis of a genuinely quantum protocol, i.e., the Entanglement Access Control (EAC) protocol, able to deterministically solve the contention of a shared resource. The impact of entanglement on the Quantum Internet protocol stack design is further analyzed by investigating the facets of the classical-quantum interface, namely, an interface enabling a bi-directional interplay between the classical Internet and the Quantum Internet. Indeed, the Quantum Internet cannot operate independently nor autonomously from the classical Internet as quantum network functionalities, such as the entanglement distribution, demand for a tight cross-layered interplay with the classical Internet protocol stack.
