Building the Software Stack for Quantum Networks: Orchestration, Control, & Simulation
Quantum networks require a software stack purpose-built for the unique demands of entanglement distribution: tight synchronization, stochastic link behavior, & diverse physical-layer hardware. This talk presents Aliro's approach to this challenge: AlirOS, a real-time quantum network operating system & orchestration platform that abstracts hardware complexity & exposes entanglement as a programmable network service, & Aliro Simulator, a software platform for quantum network co-design.
We will walk through the architecture of these software systems, grounding them in real deployments. This includes the orchestration of BBM92 entanglement-based QKD, & how organizations use Aliro Simulator to evaluate hardware trade-offs, accelerate protocol development, & de-risk network planning decisions before deployment.
Michael is Co-Founder & CTO at Aliro, The Quantum Networking Company spun out of Harvard in 2019 building the software stack for quantum networks. At Aliro, he leads research, intellectual property, & customer & partner relations. Michael is a published author in quantum research, & a co-inventor of several patents in quantum security, computing software, compilers, error correction, & quantum network protocols - all driving the deployment of commercial-grade product lines at Aliro. He is actively involved in the QED-C Standards & Performance Metrics TAC, & serves as the liaison between QED-C & ITU-T for quantum key distribution standards development. Michael is a thought leader in quantum secure communications, entanglement distribution, control software, & quantum network simulation, leading the design of a revolutionary quantum internet stack.
