Abstract

Edge computing network and quantum network are two emerging technologies in current communication fields. Edge computing has emerged to support the computational demand of delay-sensitive applications in which substantial computing and storage are deployed at the network edge close to data sources. Quantum network supports distributed quantum computing, which could provide exponentially computation capabilities for certain problems. The vision of a hybrid quantum-edge is to provide a fundamentally new computing paradigm by expanding the computing capabilities and security of edge computing with quantum computing and quantum communications. The distributed nature of edge computing networks will also enable new scalable quantum networking schemes and applications. Such a hybrid computing paradigm will achieve unparalleled capabilities that are provably impossible by using only classical computing or quantum computing schemes alone. In this paper, we introduce the concept of hybrid quantum-edge computing network and discuss its challenges and opportunities.
