Abstract
One embodiment provides a system and method for transporting quantum datagrams over a network. During operation, a quantum datagram is obtained at a network node. The quantum datagram can include a wrapper and an optical quantum data payload, with the wrapper comprising classical non-quantum optical bits and the quantum data payload comprising quantum bits (qubits). The system separates the wrapper from the quantum data payload such that the classical bits included in the wrapper are processed while the qubits included in the quantum data payload remain undisturbed, and makes a forwarding decision for the quantum datagram based on the processed wrapper.
