This book provides a tutorial on quantum communication networks. The authors discuss current paradigm shifts in communication networks that are needed to add computing and storage to the simple transport ideas of prevailing networks. They show how these 'softwarized' solutions break new grounds to reduce latency and increase resilience. The authors discuss how even though these solutions have inherent problems due to introduced computing latency and energy consumption, the problems can be solved by hybrid classical-quantum communication networks. The book brings together quantum networking, quantum information theory, quantum computing, and quantum simulation.

Roberto Ferrara have obtained his Msc in physics at the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen and his PhD in science at the Department of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Copenhagen. In his PhD dissertation An Information-theoretic Framework for Quantum Repeaters , he studied the limitations of distilling bipartite classical key from quantum states when the two parties can only share entanglement with the aid of a third party, the quantum repeater, covering topics of entanglement measures, quantum operations and quantum information theory. Since 2019 he is at the Department of Communications Engineering at the Technical University of Munich.
