3. ACTIVITIES AND FINDINGS
3.1 Hybrid quantum systems and their applications
The first activity related to the design of hybrid quantum systems and applications of them. Our initial focus has been on quantum batteries and energy transport enabled in these systems. We have found way to enhance both the charging rates of quantum batteries as well new ways to transport energy and quantum correlations around a network of nodes.
3.2 Design of quantum network technologies
Our second activity has been related to the design of quantum network technologies. We have been establishing the requirement for quantum edge and fog computing. Preliminary results show the quantum and classical networking requirements.
