"Version: 20180501"--Title page verso."A Morgan & Claypool publication as part of IOP Concise Physics"--Title page verso.Includes bibliographical references.1. Introduction -- 1.1. Momentum in the field -- 1.2. Quantum communications networks : the vision2. Key applications and enablers -- 2.1. Entanglement as a virtual wire -- 2.2. Quantum teleportation -- 2.3. Quantum key distribution3. Integrating quantum and classical networks -- 3.1. Coexistence of quantum and classical signals -- 3.2. LAN/MAN topologies for QKD networks4. Quantum networks at continental scales -- 4.1. Trusted-node networks -- 4.2. Partially trusted topologies -- 4.3. Trust-free networks5. Future directions -- 5.1. Alternative protocols -- 5.2. Industrial outlook -- Appendix A. Elementary quantum mechanical systems.This book fills a gap between experts and non-experts in the field by providing readers with the basic tools to understand the latest developments in quantum communications and its future directions. With the fast pace of developments in quantum technologies, it is more necessary than ever to make the new generation of students in science/engineering familiar with the key ideas behind such disruptive systems. This book describes key applications for quantum networks; local, metropolitan, and global networks; and the industrial outlook for the field.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Mohsen Razavi received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees (with honours) in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 1998 and 2000, respectively. From August 1999 to June 2001, he was a member of research staff at the Iran Telecommunications Research Centre, working on all optical CDMA networks and the possible employment of optical amplifiers in such systems. He joined the Research Laboratory of Electronics, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in 2001 to pursue his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, which he completed in 2006. He continued his work at MIT as a Post-doctoral Associate during Fall 2006, before joining the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo as a Post-doctoral Fellow in January 2007. Since September 2009, he is a faculty member at the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Leeds. Dr. Razavi is a recipient of the MIT-HP Alliance Fellowship and the Marie-Curie International Reintegration Grant. He chaired and organized the first International Workshop on Quantum Communication Networks in 2014.Title from PDF title page (viewed on June 12, 2018).
