Abstract: The present disclosure describes event detection and management for quantum communications in a communication network. The event detection and management for quantum communications in a communication network may be provided based on event-based interaction between quantum nodes of the communication network and a network controller of the communication network, such as where the quantum nodes detect events associated with quantum communications and report the events associated with quantum communications to the network controller and where the network controller receives the events associated with quantum communications from the quantum nodes and initiates event management operations based on the events associated with quantum communications. The event detection and management for quantum communications in a communication network may be provided for various aspects of quantum communications, such as for quantum channels configured to support quantum information transfers, quantum information transfers via quantum channels, quantum applications, and so forth.

Abstract: The concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to quantum security enhancement for IPsec protocol. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a quantum resource manager (“Q-RM”) can find a recommended quantum routing path for routing data from a first data center to a second data center via a pair of entangled quantum particles. The Q-RM can instruct a first quantum node (“QN”) associated with the first data center and a second QN associated with the second data center to establish a quantum channel that facilitates the recommended quantum routing path. The Q-RM can prepare an IPsec encrypted tunnel to carry a qubit associated with the pair of entangled quantum particles from the first data center to the second data center. The Q-RM can find the recommended quantum routing path responsive to an issue detected with the IPsec encrypted tunnel previously established between the first data center and the second data center.

Abstract: A quantum entanglement communication service can be provided by detecting a request to access data stored at a first computer. In response to detecting the data access request, a request can be generated to request that a server computer generate an entangled particle pair. Measurement data can be received, the measurement data corresponding to a measurement observed after interacting a first bit of a token stored at a second computer with a first entangled particle from the entangled particle pair. An operation to perform on a second entangled particle of the entangled particle pair at the first computer can be determined and performed. A state of the second entangled particle can be measured to obtain a value, and a bit string can be generated, where the bit string can include a number that corresponds to the value.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for providing and using a connection management service. A connection management service can receive a connection request that requests a connection between a requestor and a distributed network. The connection management service can identify a connector to provide the connection between the requestor and the distributed network. The connection management service can provide, to the requestor, an object corresponding to the connector. The requestor can invoke the object to connect to the distributed network.
