Multiplexing quantum modules in computational and communication systems.

There are many advantages to processing quantum information in a distributed fashion. The technology required to connect multiple quantum computers together provides an ideal way to naturally scale up one’s computational resources. Such a feature is now standard in the classical domain; however, quantum information systems fundamentally differ from their classical counterparts in several ways. It is these differences that bring unique advantages to the distributed quantum information processing realm. Distributed quantum information systems are decomposed into modules, the fundamental building block of such systems. Adding more modules significantly increases the computational resource. The modules are simple enough to be able fully characterizable and merge quantum communication and computation approaches together. They give an architecture free technology. In this talk, we focus on these unique features of distributed quantum information processing and give a few examples of how we can implement various protocols and architecture for quantum computation and communications with an NV-based quantum module. Further we illustrate the unique advantage quantum multiplexing enables.
