Quantum key distribution (QKD) constitutes a symmetric secret key negotiation protocol
capable of maintaining information-theoretic security. Given the recent advances in QKD …

Metropolitan optical networks are undergoing significant transformations to continue being
able to provide services that meet the requirements of the applications of the future. The …

We describe our experience develo** what we believe to be the world's first large-scale
production deployments of lightwave fabrics used for both datacenter networking and …

We investigate the potential of adaptive blind equalizers based on variational inference for
carrier recovery in optical communications. These equalizers are based on a low-complexity …

Elastic Optical Network (EON) is a promising solution to address the high capacity, low
latency, and flexibility requirements of the upcoming 5th-generation (5G) networks …

In this paper, we describe Apollo, to the best of our knowledge, the world's first large-scale
production deployment of optical circuit switches (OCSes) for datacenter networking. We will …

A generalized method based on machine learning (ML) and artificial neural networks
(ANNs) is proposed for a fast and accurate prediction of spectral and spatial evolution of …

Rapid growth of network traffic causes the need for the development of new network
technologies. Artificial intelligence provides suitable tools to improve currently used network …

Over the past fifty years, telecommunications has transformed, in an unprecedented manner,
the way we live, work and communicate. For telecommunications, fixed networks are the one …

Experimental and theoretical results about entropy limits for macroscopic and single-particle
systems are reviewed. All experiments confirm the minimum system entropy S⩾ k ln 2. We …
