Abstract: A quantum memory manager (QMM) of a source endpoint obtains a memory request from a quantum application for quantum memory blocks. The source endpoint negotiates with a destination endpoint to determine a memory lifetime value that includes a minimum decoherence time for qubits stored at the source endpoint and qubits stored at the destination endpoint. The QMM allocates a quantum memory block of a plurality of qubit storage locations to the quantum application based on the memory lifetime value. The QMM receives communication qubits that are entangled with destination qubits sent to the destination endpoint, and stores the communication qubits in the quantum memory block. Each particular communication qubit of the communication qubits is entangled with a particular destination qubit of the destination qubits.

For instance, a first server on a public 5G mobile network can receive a first message directed to a first wireless device associated with a first network identity. The first server can determine, based on the first network identity, that the first wireless device is associated with a second network identity, wherein the second network identity is used to identify the first wireless device on a private 5G mobile network. The first server can send a copy of the first message to a second server on the private 5G mobile network for transmission to the first wireless device through the private 5G mobile network based on the second network identity.

Abstract: In one example, a Network Policy Function (NPF) obtains a first identifier for a User Equipment (UE) based on communications between the UE and a first access network of a system, and an Internet Protocol (IP) address used by the UE to communicate over the first access network. The NPF obtains a second identifier for the UE based on communications between the UE and a second access network of the system. The NPF determines that the UE used the IP address to communicate over the first access network of the system based on a correlation between the first identifier for the UE and the second identifier for the UE. The NPF provides the IP address to the UE, and the UE uses the IP address to communicate over the second access network.
