Abstract
Quantum networks [1] bear the promise of one day enabling diverse applications such as secure communications, distributed quantum computing, distributed sensing, and time distribution, in addition to other applications not yet identified. In recent years, leaders at several DC-area federal research agencies observed a need for a US-government-centered, non-proprietary environment for test and evaluation of quantum networking concepts, components, protocols, and architectures. The Washington Metropolitan Quantum Network Research Consortium (DCQNet) was codified in 2022 by an interagency Memorandum of Understanding to advance cooperation among government agencies in quantum network research and development. Within DC-QNet, a variety of Working Groups were established to foster technical collaboration. The Experimental Working Group's goals include identification of suitable experimental topics and facilitation of collaborative experimental activities. Here we describe the collaborative experimental topic areas identified by the DC-QNet Experiments Working Group.Conference Dates
