Quantum Communication and Quantum Internet Applications

by Daniel Minoli, Benedict Occhiogrosso

Overview

Quantum computing, particularly in conjunction with a high level of interconnectivity facilitated by quantum connectivity, can facilitate a host of new, previously unattainable applications—these include blind quantum computation, (information) teleporting, clock synchronization, quantum key distribution, secure access to remote quantum computers, superdense coding, secure identification, quantum-secure encryption, distributed sensors, and other scientific and commercial applications, including new drug development.

Quantum Communication and Quantum Internet Applications is a basic introduction to quantum computing and presents the emerging foundations of quantum communications and applications. Written for telecommunications professionals, the book explains basic principles of quantum mechanics and strives to make quantum science accessible with a minimal mathematical investment. This book is a point of departure into the application of quantum computing and mechanics to communications. Features include:

• An introductory overview of quantum communications
• Basic and advanced mathematical concepts in quantum physics
• Basic physical technologies
• An overview of quantum computers and their role as nodes in the quantum internet (i.e., the Quaint)
• Quantum communications, including logical architectures and the Quaint
• Quantum-based security
• Software tools to develop networked quantum applications.
• Glossaries of terms and concepts.

The book synthetizes background material on quantum computing so that telecom managers and other telecom professionals can get a basic understanding of this fast-emerging computing discipline and its application to telecom. It is a guide to the newly emerging fields of quantum communications, quantum internet, remote connectivity, and networking.

Over 8,000 academic researchers cite his work in their own peer-reviewed publications, according to Google Scholar, and over 250 U.S. patents and 40 U.S. patent applications cite his published work. He has many years of technical and managerial experience in planning, designing, deploying, and operating secure IP/IPv6-, VoIP-, telecom-, wireless-, satellite- and video networks for carriers and financial companies. He has published and lectured in the area of M2M/IoT, network security, satellite systems, wireless networks, IP/IPv6/Metro Ethernet and has taught as adjunct for many years at New York University, Stevens Institute of Technology, Rutgers University, and Fairleigh Dickinson University. He also has served as a testifying expert witness in over two dozen cases. This 2025 book caps 50 years of fundamental, leading-edge telecom-related technology work by Mr. Minoli, including research, design, analysis, engineering, deployment, forecasting, economic evaluation, and patent assessment and development.

Benedict Occhiogrosso is a Co-Founder of DVI Communications, New York. He is a graduate of New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering. For over 25 years, he has served as the CEO of a multi-disciplinary consulting firm and advised both technology producers and consumers on adoption and deployment of technologies. He is also a technology expert in various aspects of telecommunications, security, and information technology with concentration in speech recognition, video surveillance and more recently IoT. He has supported high-tech litigation encompassing Intellectual Property (patent and trade secrets) as a testifying expert witness and advised inventors and acquirers on patent valuation. He has also served as both a technology and business advisor to several start-up and operating companies with respect to product planning, company organization and capital formation.
