Abstract:

   A consistent reference architecture model for the Quantum Internet is
   required to progress in its evolution, providing a framework for the
   integration of the protocols applicable to it, and enabling the
   advance of the applications based on it.  This model has to satisfy
   three essential requirements: agility, so it is able to adapt to the
   evolution of quantum communications base technologies,
   sustainability, with open availability in technological and
   economical terms, and pliability, being able to integrate with the
   operations and management procedures in current networks.  This
   document proposes such an architecture framework, with the goal of
   providing a conceptual common framework for the integration of
   technologies intended to build the Quantum Internet infrastructure
   and its integration with the current Internet.  The framework is
   based on the already extensive experience in the deployment of QKD
   network infrastructures and on related initiatives focused on the
   integration of network infrastructures and services.
