  • Patent number: 11916601
    Abstract: A method for quantum routing is performed by a relay network node that is connected to a plurality of nearest-neighbor network nodes. The method includes receiving, from a source network node of the plurality of nearest-neighbor network nodes, a first command indicating a destination network node. The method includes selecting, based on the destination network node, a next-hop network node from the nearest-neighbor network nodes. The method includes determining a number of current quantum-entangled channels between the relay network node and the next-hop network node. The method includes establishing a new quantum-entangled channel between the relay network node and the next-hop network node in response to the number of current quantum-entangled channels being less than a threshold.

  • Patent number: 11690010
    Abstract: The normalization of data originating from endpoints within low power wide area networks (LPWANs) is contemplated. The normalization may be beneficial to facilitate normalizing data when collected and/or communicated according to disparate protocols, languages, formats, syntaxes, structures, etc. of the endpoints and/or the LPWANs so as to enable commonization of the data prior to being interfaced with applications or other entities intending to make use thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230141994
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a quantum Internet router are described. A first network node (e.g., a quantum Internet router) may receive a command from a second network node by a digital information channel indicating a destination network node, a Bell State Measurement (BSM), and a pair of entangled particles establishing a quantum entangled channel between the first and second network nodes. The first network node may determine a third network node to forward the command based on a forwarding table and generate a second BSM based on a QSR operation and a second pair of entangled particles establishing a quantum entangled channel between the first and third network nodes. The first network node may forward, to the third network node, a command indicating the destination network node, the second BSM, and the second pair of entangled particles.

  • Patent number: 11283692
    Abstract: Service discovery for an application lacking capabilities sufficient to facilitate Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), Zero-configuration networking (Zeroconf), Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) or other service discovery protocols relying upon multicast User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is contemplated. The service discovery may be facilitated with a discovery proxy configured to identify available services and a discovery service having capabilities sufficient to apprise the application of the services identified with the discovery proxy.

  • Publication number: 20210119787
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for quantum key distribution (QKD) in passive optical networks (PONs) are described. A PON may be a point-to-multipoint system and may include a central node in communication with multiple remote nodes. In some cases, each remote node may include a QKD transmitter configured to generate a quantum pulse indicating a quantum key, a synchronization pulse generator configured to generate a timing indication of the quantum pulse, and filter configured to output the quantum pulse and the timing indication to the central node via an optical component (e.g., an optical splitter, a cyclic arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) router). The central node may receive the timing indications and quantum pulses from multiple remote nodes. Thus, the central node and remote nodes may be configured to communicate data encrypted using quantum keys.

  • Patent number: 10938951
    Abstract: Message forwarding over a network is contemplated. The contemplated forwarding may facilitate message communications without requiring stateful storage of attendant information at forwarding nodes, such as to facilitate stateless message forwarding carried over networks using names or other non-address related fields to facilitate Information Centric Networking (ICN), Content Centric Networking (CCN) and/or Named Data Networking (NDN).
