Compatibility of Quantum Networks

Network configuration for Internet communication is the process of configuring network control, flow, and operation for a specific agent. This term encompasses multiple processes of configuration and setup on all network components and is also known as network setup. On the other hand, the quantum Internet requires a different type of network processing, as it involves special forms of entangled quantum networks that are essential for achieving quantum supremacy beyond classical networks. In this chapter, we focus on a more restricted concept of quantum network configuration, particularly on network topology and compatible correlations.
