NIST is developing a quantum network testbed called the Platform for Quantum Network Innovation to manage and control quantum networks. The platform aims to demonstrate necessary network functions like qubit routing and test and benchmark network hardware from other research groups.
The research team has published studies on the effects of network connectivity on quantum network performance, demonstrating that hierarchical modular networks can be optimal for certain applications. These networks have shown potential in improving the efficiency of quantum computing architectures.
The Platform for Quantum Network Innovation is ongoing research and development, with the goal of advancing the field of quantum networks and improving the efficiency and performance of quantum computing architectures.
