Abstract

Quantum computing has revamped and paved a new stream of research diverted away from the classical means of computation and processing. One setback in this field was the usage of existing classical Internet coupled with a machine capable of quantum computing. Hence, extensive research has been done in this domain to provide and support the incorporation of quantum Internet with quantum computing to boost the overall performance of the quantum system. This paper aims to provide possible implementations of quantum Internet which can be coupled with the quantum computer being developed by various organizations. The major advancement would be done in the link layer as well as the routing processors, as these are the layers responsible for converting signals. The routing processor should be able to cope up with the quantum qubits to re-route and perform the necessary network layer computations to direct the packages to its respective destination addresses.
