Abstract
Quantum Data Networking can significantly transform the landscape of quantum computing by enabling several small quantum computers (QCs) to form a distributed system to achieve the same computing power as a large quantum computer which is infeasible to build. However, this requires quantum state information, in the form of qubits, to be exchanged among multiple geographically distributed QCs, and there are many challenges associated with reliably transferring qubits from one QC to another efficiently. In this paper, we discuss various QDN design options, present main challenges and describe promising solutions to tackle the challenges.
