Re: [hackathon] Quantum networks at IETF 104 hackathon

Hi all,

This book would also fit to IETF folks to start quantum networks
technically.
https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Networking-Networks-Telecommunications-Rodney-ebook-dp-B00K9K0GO6/dp/B00K9K0GO6/ref=mt_kindle?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1552140895
I’ll bring a hardcopy to the hackathon.

Bests,
Shota
