The goal is to complement quantum-network stacks, link-layer protocols, and routing algorithms by providing the missing fault-tolerant layer needed for safe multi-tenant quantum cloud systems.
Abstract
Quantum networks are moving toward shared, multi-tenant cloud infrastructure where entanglement must be allocated, consumed, and even recovered under contention. Unlike classical cloud resources, entangled states are probabilistic to generate, stored in scarce quantum memory, degraded by time, and destroyed by use, so a logically correct control decision can become useless if it arrives after the state has degraded beyond application requirements. This vision paper advocates for an entanglement orchestration plane: a cloud-control-plane architecture that treats entangled states as first-class, time-sensitive, consumable resources. The design combines lightweight dissemination for high-rate telemetry with an agreement-backed lifecycle core for correctness-critical transitions. The goal is to complement quantum-network stacks, link-layer protocols, and routing algorithms by providing the missing fault-tolerant layer needed for safe multi-tenant quantum cloud systems.
This paper surveys and redefines the OSI model for quantum networking in the context of 7G systems, proposing a Quantum-Converged OSI stack that extends the classical seven-layer model with two additional layers: Layer 0, the Quantum Substrate, responsible for entanglement management, coherence preservation, and telepo...

A quantum network architecture based on the Beneš switching topology that provides a universal switching framework for pairwise communications and is compatible in principle with quantum platforms supporting these capabilities is proposed.

It is demonstrated that traditional communication metrics are insufficient predictors of execution quality due to the strong interaction among path fidelity, hardware characteristics, and circuit structure, and a topology-aware fidelity proxy (TAFP) evaluation approach that approximates distributed execution fidelity i...

Architectures have been proposed to control entanglement generation in multi-user quantum networks. To allow time for local operations and classical communication at end nodes, these architectures insert fixed separations between consecutive batches of entanglement generation attempts. This reduces network utilization...

This work argues that the absence of utility-driven network formation is not solely a consequence of immature applications, but also of insufficient abstraction, and that quantum interconnects constitute the enabling technology required to decouple physical implementations from network functionalities.
Multipartite entanglement can endow a quantum network with capabilities unavailable classically, yet their evolution under progressively reduced physical and informational access remains largely unexplored. Here we realize the first eight-photon half-excitation Dicke state, with a fidelity of 0.922(11), and use it to i...
