DESCRIPTION:[Entanglement-Defined Networking]\n\nSpecial Presentation by An
 gela Sara Cacciapuoti (U. of Naples Federico II\, Italy)\n\nHosted by the 
 Future Networks AI/ML and Quantum IT working groups\n\nDate/Time: Wednesda
 y\, 10 June 2026 @ 12:00 UTC (2 PM Rome/Italy Time)\n\nTopic:\n\nEntanglem
 ent-Defined Networking\n\nAbstract:\n\nEntanglement challenges some of the
  most established assumptions of classical networking\, as it is a network
  resource with no counterpart in the classical Internet: it is non-local\,
  stateful\, and short-lived. This talk explores the idea of entanglement-d
 efined networking\, in which the properties of entanglement shape how netw
 ork control and protocol organization are conceived. The discussion highli
 ghts why control must become entanglement-aware\, why topology-driven abst
 ractions alone are no longer sufficient\, and why rigid layering gives way
  to more adaptive forms of protocol organization. The talk also briefly pr
 esents Q2NS\, a hybrid co-simulation framework for studying these ideas at
  scale. Overall\, the talk promotes a resource-driven view of the Quantum 
 Internet\, in which architecture and protocol organization are designed ar
 ound entanglement rather than inherited classical abstractions.\n\nSpeaker
