Abstract: Quantum key distribution network security survivability can be provided by receiving, at a software defined networking controller operating in a control layer of a network, a recommendation from a global analytics service operating in an application layer of the network, the recommendation for replacing a failed communication link in a quantum key distribution layer of the network, the failed communication link being detected by a quantum edge computing device operating in the quantum key distribution layer. The software defined networking controller can generate a command to cause a quantum key distribution resource to perform an action to mitigate impact from the failed communication link. The command can be sent to the quantum key distribution resource and the quantum key distribution resource can perform the action to mitigate the impact from the failed communication link.

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.

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: The concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to quantum tampering threat management. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a quantum security manager (“Q-SM”) can monitor a plurality of quantum channels for tampering. The Q-SM can detect tampering on a quantum channel of the plurality of quantum channels. The Q-SM can provide tampering monitoring statistics to a software-defined network (“SDN”) that, in turn, notifies a quantum security operations center (“Q-SOC”) about the tampering on the quantum channel. The Q-SM can receive threat mitigation instructions from the Q-SOC. The threat mitigation instructions can instruct the Q-SM how to counter the tampering on the quantum channel. The Q-SM can perform one or more actions in accordance with the threat mitigation instructions to counter the tampering on the quantum channel.

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.
