Quantum Networking for GPN Region

• Eden Figueroa

Room: E&O Conference Room Keynote: Eden Figueroa Presidential Innovation Endowed Professor Director of the Center for Distributed Quantum Processing Stony Brook University At Stony Brook University, a team led by Dr. Eden Figueroa has established one of the most advanced quantum networks in the United States. Spanning multiple locations across Long Island, SCY-QNet connects the quantum efforts at Stony Brook, Columbia University, and Yale University, as well as the Brookhaven National Lab. Building on their success, Stony Brook has proposed expanding widening its quantum networking efforts including plans to develop and implement multiple networks within the GPN footprint. To kick off our workshop, Dr. Figueroa will present the story of the Long Island network, highlighting the groundbreaking discoveries and innovative technologies developed throughout its evolution. This presentation sets the foundation for Tuesday afternoon's workshop activities.

Partnering with IBM through the University of Missouri Quantum Innovation Center

• Chi-Ren Shyu

Room: E&O Conference Room Informatics Specialist Chi-Ren Shyu will lead the University of Missouri’s Quantum Innovation Center (QIC) team in collaboration with the IBM Quantum Innovation Center to explore how to access and utilize IBM’s advanced quantum computing technologies. Through Missouri’s recent partnership with IBM, GPN partners now have the opportunity to directly engage with IBM’s cutting-edge quantum hardware and receive expert support. Bring your research ideas to this session and discover how existing quantum computing resources can help propel your work forward.

Whiteboard Activity - Building a Regional Quantum Network

• Mickey Slimp

Room: E&O Conference Room Workshop participants will whiteboard multiple quantum networks within the GPN footprint with the results to be used for funding support. Led by individual members of the SCY-Quantum Network Team participants will identify the potential purpose, scope, and location of their conceptual network. Ideally, each group working on a local network proposed network will include a potential project manager, a network architect, and a scientist who would use the network. in partnership with the GPN and Stony Brook team with a network architect and science participant. Using a model piloted by the SCY-QNet team on Long Island, the workshop should result in a proposal to develop up to six similar networks across GPN over the next five years. The networks would advance progressively in size and complexity, aligned for potential interconnection as the field advances and allows. Using quantum networking technologies developed by SCY-QNet and others, the projects would be deployed in great part over the existing GPN infrastructure. For more on the current SCY-QNet project see below documents.
