论文摘要
缺乏基准测试量子网络的通用框架是比较不同量子网络功能的障碍。我们提出了一个通用框架，以量化量子网络的性能，该框架基于通过量子通道连接用户创建的值。在此框架中，我们定义了量子网络公用事业$ u_ {qn} $来捕获量子网络的社会和经济价值。尽管量子网络实用程序捕获了从安全通信到分布式传感的各种应用程序，但我们研究了分布式量子计算的示例。我们希望采用基于公用事业的框架将成为指导和评估新量子网络技术和设计的开发的基础。
The absence of a common framework for benchmarking quantum networks is an obstacle to comparing the capabilities of different quantum networks. We propose a general framework for quantifying the performance of a quantum network, which is based on the value created by connecting users through quantum channels. In this framework, we define the quantum network utility metric $U_{QN}$ to capture the social and economic value of quantum networks. While the quantum network utility captures a variety of applications from secure communications to distributed sensing, we study the example of distributed quantum computing in detail. We hope that the adoption of the utility-based framework will serve as a foundation for guiding and assessing the development of new quantum network technologies and designs.
