Research Areas

Quantum Networking

With the emergent quantum computations, and the current limitations in building large quantum systems, it has become imperative to have networks of such machines that can link these quantum computers together. There is also a need for quantum networks that should be able to deliver resources like the entangled qubits to end users. At ACQuIRE, we researche into how to build these networks, and optimize them for efficient resource management.

Classical Networking

Our research spans a broad range of topics in networking, including network protocols and architecture, modeling and analysis, sensor networks, wireless networks, and network measurement. We seek a principled understanding of new and emerging areas through a complementary mix of theoretical and applied experimental research.
