Abstract
Small-scale quantum networks currently operating in a number of countries are able to distributed entanglement between the various modestly spaced nodes of those networks. In the longer term we know that a future quantum internet should give us the required infrastructure to distribute and process quantum information on the planetary scale. However, in today environment quantum networking resources are far more limited (and scarce) that the NISQ processors and quantum sensors/clocks that may want to operate on them. In this talk we will introduce the concepts of quantum edge and quantum fog computing as key steps in the development of tomorrows quantum internet while noting that they are stand-alone approaches in their own right. We will discuss how these architectures will enable various forms of distributed quantum information processing and what technologies will be required to realize them.
