Quantum Networking and Computing Lab

Quantum Networking and Computing Lab is a research lab that runs under the Computer Science Department of Stony Brook University, under the supervision of Prof. Himanshu Gupta. Our research focuses on quantum networks and communication, and distributed quantum algorithms.

Research Projects

This project is examining the design and implementation of quantum network from the ground up by developing an infrastructure for efficient generation and distribution of quantum entanglements in the network.


In the context of quantum sensor networks (QSN), this project designs efficient protocols for the estimation of binary parameter functions and investigates the benefit of entanglements in these settings. 

Graph states are multipartite entangled states where a graph over the qubits specifies the entanglement structure between qubits. Owing to their highly entangled nature, graph states find applications in various quantum information processing domains.  This project aims to developing an infrastructure for efficient generation of graph state.

Present quantum computers have limited qubit capacity and are susceptible to noise due to decoherence and gate operations.  Distributing quantum computations over a network of quantum computers (QCs) is a promising way to facilitate large computations over current QCs.  This project aims to developing an infrastructure for efficient distributing quantum circuits across a quantum network with the optimization objective of minimizing the circuit execution time.
