This paper designed and proposed mechanisms and protocols for resource discovery and control in quantum networks, which are required to initiate quantum communication. That a theoretical-stage proposal in network engineering received a Best Paper Award recognizes its novelty and insight. We will proceed to implementation and evaluation on the quantum network testbed in Shin-Kawasaki.
This research was conducted by Keio University and Mercari, Inc., with support from Nagayama Project of the JST Moonshot R&D Program.
