Abstract:

Based on current quantum communication technology,the core technique in automatic switch optical network(ASON) is introduced into quantum communication network,the 3 layers quantum communication network(QCN)model is proposed,in which transmission plane and control plane are separated each other.At the same time,the quantum switch based on the proposed 3 layers quantum communication network model is presented in the paper.Finally the scheme of quantum switch,which is as a key technology of carrying out quantum switching is presented in the paper.This scheme of QCN may play an important role in the establishment of quantum communication network in the large scale in the future.

Key words: automatically switched optical network, quantum communication network, optical cross-connect, quantum switch
