　　五、主讲内容：

　　Quantum computing holds a great potential to solve certain types of problems more efficiently than classic computers. However, in a foreseeable future, it is expected that each quantum computer (QC) can have only a small number of quantum bits (called qubits). To overcome such a limitation, we have been exploring a new paradigm which uses a quantum data networks (QDN) to network many small QCs to form a distributed quantum processing system.

　　While the concept of using QDNs to support distributed quantum computing is similar to distributed computing in the classical world, there are several unique challenges and opportunities in QDNs. It is also worth noting that today's QKD networks are fundamentally different from the envisioned QDNs, since the former is used only to establish a shared encryption key between two (classical) computers.

This talk is meant to provide an introduction to quantum computing and QDN for distributed quantum computing, with a focus on various network architecture and protocol level design considerations associated with establishing End-to-End entanglement connections for reliable teleportation of qubits.

　　六、嘉宾简介：

　　Chunming Qiao is a SUNY Distinguished Professor of the CSE Department at University at Buffalo. He has lead the Lab for Advanced Network Design, Evaluation and Research (LANDR) at UB since 1993. His current research interests cover not only the safety and reliability of various cyber physical systems (such as transportation systems with connected and autonomous vehicles, critical infrastructures involving power grid and communications networks, and cloud services), but also algorithms and protocols for distributed quantum computing, and Internet of Things, including smartphone based systems and applications. He has published extensively with an h-index of over 76 (according to Google Scholar). Several of his papers have received the best paper awards from IEEE and Joint ACM/IEEE venues. He also has 7 US patents and served as a consultant for several IT and Telecommunications companies since 2000. His research has been featured in BusinessWeek, Wireless Europe, CBC and New Scientists. He was elected to IEEE Fellow for his contributions to optical and wireless network architectures and protocols.
