Re: [hackathon] Quantum networks at IETF 104 hackathon

I am on the blockchain side of all this - QKD and entanglement. I have been working on the entanglement aspects. Quantum networks are very important to blockchain concepts.

 Is there any overlap between blockchain concepts and what you are doing at the hackathon (I know IETF is engaged in decentralised internet work via IRTF)?

  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

  Hi all,

Some of us at the IRTF are working on quantum networks, networks capable of sharing and using quantum entanglement. The first lab demonstrations are due later this year and the plan is to connect a few cities in the Netherlands in 2020 already.

First of all: quantum physics knowledge is NOT required to participate - we will introduce the necessary basics to anyone. If you would like more insight into the technology now two places to start reading up on the subject:   	?https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-01835-3 	?https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-qirg-principles/ 
This is a very broad subject for a hackathon, but we have two main themes to propose open to anyone who would like to contribute to the subject:   	Quantum Ping (discussion and writing a document) 	 		What is the abstraction of the quantum ping in the Quantum Internet. 		What functionalities quantum ping should have. 		How functionalities be realized in quantum plane and classical plane, etc. 	
	 	Applications for 2019/2020 lab setups and beyond (using published API on a simulator) 	 		Entanglement advertisement ?https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kaws-qirg-advent-01 		Anonymous quantum state transfer 		Bit commitment 		 			Over a trusted network 			Measurement-device independent 			Device independent 		
		 		Blind Quantum Computation 		QKD variants (e.g device-independent) 		Conference Key agreement (multi-party QKD) 		Quantum Secret Sharing 		Consensus algorithms (e.g. Byzantine) 		Leader election algorithms 		Coin-flipping 		Formal verification of quantum algorithms 	

Don't worry if any of that sounds unfamiliar. We will explain everything at the event and try to involve anyone who wants to make a contribution.

The project champions are:  	Shota Nagayama <shota.nagayama at mercari.com> 	Wojciech Kozlowski <w.kozlowski at tudelft.nl> 
Thanks,
Wojciech
