R. Nejabati, R. Wang, G. T. Kanellos and D. Simeonidou, “Optical Network Architecture Supporting Dynamic and End-to-End Quantum Secure Networking,” 2021 European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC), 2021, pp. 1-4, doi: 10.1109/ECOC52684.2021.9606129.
This paper proposes an optical network architecture including physical layer and control plane supporting dynamic networking and co-existence of quantum and classical channels over the same fibre infrastructure. It will discuss technological challenges for realising the proposed architecture and potential solutions for addressing them.
