Re: [Qirg] [Coin] COINRG and QIR : interaction for generic architecture of quantum computation node ?

Thanks.

At the QIRG meeting last week COIN was mentioned so maybe there is an
opportunity to indeed start a dialogue.

Hi all,

Despite my interest in QIRG activity, I could not attend the meeting at
last IETF106 for conflict with other meetings reasons.

However, I could attend COINRG.

I think there is an opportunity for interaction between QIRG and COINRG.

The draft “Directions for Computing in the Network” [
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kutscher-coinrg-dir/] mentions a
terminology towards a novel "computing in the network (COIN)" approach that
revisits the function split between computing and networking.

The document takes one example: “Compute-First Networking with ICN”. To
assess whether the proposed terminology is generic, it may be interesting
to consider other use-cases where the computing is spread within the
network.

Another example could then be “Interconnected Quantum Computers”.

Indeed, the charter of QIRG mentions an architectural framework to support
a first step toward a quantum network architecture [
https://datatracker.ietf.org/rg/qirg/about/].

I am not sure about the way towards an interaction between those
activities, but starting email discussions may pull a trigger.

I hope this helps,

Kind regards,

Nicolas
