| 研究実績の概要 |
We worked on the simulator. We developed the MOOC. We completed QBA. We are participating in the creation of QIRG. We participated in WQRN. We published one paper on QBA.
In FY2017, we published one paper, on quantum Byzantine agreement, an important proposed security-related use of a quantum Internet. We defined the quantum circuits and resources necessary for the smallest execution of the full protocol. We have a second paper, on cluster state-based quantum network coding, under final review. These two protocols make very different demands on how we write the classical programs that control quantum networks. We are now applying what we learned in these two projects to the design of APIs and models for programming quantum networks.
The simulator for testing all important ideas for quantum networks is well under way. We expect to use the software for large-scale simulations during the coming year. Important remaining work includes the implementation of the connection setup process and its interaction with the actions taken for each connection across the quantum Internet.
We participated in the Workshop for Quantum Repeaters and Networks, and have agreed to host the next instance of the workshop in 2019 in Japan. We are actively participating in a conversation within the Internet Research Task Force, and look forward to the creation of a formal Research Group within it.
Finally, we have developed an online course (MOOC), "Understanding Quantum Computers," which has reached more than 4,000 people.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
During FY2018, we expect to complete the development of our quantum Internet simulator and use it to test ideas about connection establishment and programminer for quantum networks. We will continue to participate in the IRTF proposed Quantum Internet Research Group, and will prepare to host the 2019 Workshop for Quantum Repeaters and Networks.
