Quantum Internet: A Revolutionary Disruption -- Dr. Zaidi
In the wake of unprecedented technological disruptions witnessed in the recent past, “quantum internet” has emerged as a promising candidate which has a potential to revolutionize both the existing wired and wireless communications. Quantum internet is basically a network of quantum devices that operates within an environment that harnesses the peculiar laws of quantum mechanics, namely superposition and entanglement. Unfortunately, however, the constituent quantum processing nodes as well as the transmission media are susceptible to noise, which is a major impediment to the realization of a global quantum Internet. Quantum error correction (QEC) is a set of techniques to protect quantum states from the effects of environmental noise, or de-coherence, and are thus envisaged to be very promising for future Quantum internet. Aikin to the classical internet, Quantum internet is envisaged to have following building blocks: quantum processors, quantum channel, quantum switch, quantum router and quantum repeater. However, considering the quantum mechanical constraints, different network hardware and software design solutions are essentially required. Typical hardware includes quantum information source, repeaters, quantum memories and quantum detectors; which are predominantly optical/photonic devices and systems. Hence photonic technology is likely to be the key technology for the future quantum internet. In this Seminar, after describing the basic quantum mechanical principles on which the quantum computing and quantum internet is based, the major building blocks of a quantum internet shall be discussed. In the end some future research directions will be highlighted.

Quantum Internet: A Revolutionary Disruption
Biography:
Former Principal and Dean NUST IT Wing (NUST-SEECS) - Dr. Syed Muhammad Hassan Zaidi, is an illustrious researcher and practitioner in IT education, with credentials as a scholar of remarkable vision and commitment He acquired his PhD from University of South Florida, USA. He is the founding head of the NUST IT wing NIIT, which subsequently transformed to NUST School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (NUST-SEECS). During his distinguished academic research career spanning over three decades, he has published over 100 research papers in prestigious international Journals/conferences. He is the recipient of several coveted honors and awards which notably include NCR National IT Excellence Award for Research and Development and Gold Medal for the year 2000 – 2001; NCR National Excellence Award for IT Education in the year 2003; HEC Best Teacher Award in the year 2004. In September 2006, Charlotte Research Institute (CRI), USA conferred on him the status of “Duke Energy Distinguished Research Visiting Scholar. Dr Zaidi has the distinction of pioneering and co-chairing US-Pakistan International Symposium on High Capacity Optical Networks and Enabling Technologies (HONET), a regular annual event since Dec 2004. He has also won two President Gold medals for being proclaimed the BEST Researcher of the Year and the Best Teacher in Information Technology. On 14th August 2008 he has won President’s Pride of Performance Award for his meritorious services in the field of Information Technology at the National/International Level.
