A Review of Software for Designing and Operating Quantum Networks

Advanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2026.
A quantum network can be organized following a three‐plane abstraction: infrastructure, logical, and control. A taxonomy of the network functions of the control plane is proposed, and the state of the art in software for quantum networks is discussed. A guide for future directions on software development is provided.

Blockchain and Quantum Technologies for Securing the Global Nuclear Supply Chain: Synergies, Applications, Technical Challenges and Opportunities

Journal of Critical Infrastructure Policy, Volume 7, Issue 1, Spring/Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT The infiltration of counterfeit, fraudulent, and suspect items into civil nuclear supply chains, notably within power generation and medical isotope production, poses severe safety and security threats. The ever‐increasing growth in nuclear installations (70 power plants are under construction and another 100 are in the planning stage) and the

Orthogonal-state-based cryptography in quantum mechanics and local post-quantum theories

, 2015
We introduce the concept of cryptographic reduction, in analogy with a similar concept in computational complexity theory. In this framework, class $A$ of crypto-protocols reduces to protocol class $B$ in a scenario $X$, if for every instance $a$ of $A$,
