Introduction and Discussion on Quantum Communication and Quantum Network

Abstract

Being one of the major points of research focus since the end of the twentieth century, quantum computation technologies have experienced significant improvements and is under the progress of forming an inter-connected commercial quantum network in recent years. Communication through quantum mechanisms proved to be considerably more efficient and secure than classical communication protocols. Basic quantum communication networks have the primary composition of quantum processing nodes and channels where the interaction between the nodes is satisfied by the entanglement phenomenon. Quantum networking technology is under rapid development currently and is anticipated to receive milestone achievements shortly.
