Abstract

Embodiments are disclosed for a quantum key distribution (QKD) enabled intra-datacenter network. An example system includes a first QKD device and a second QKD device. The first QKD device includes a first quantum-enabled port and a first network port. The second QKD device includes a second quantum-enabled port and a second network port. The first quantum-enabled port of the first QKD device is communicatively coupled to the second quantum-enabled port of the second QKD device via a QKD link associated with quantum communication. Furthermore, the first network port of the first QKD device is communicatively coupled to a first network switch via a first classical link associated with classical network communication. The second network port of the second QKD device is communicatively coupled to a second network switch via a second classical link associated with classical network communication.
