Comparando Estrat\'egias de Roteamento em Redes Qu\^anticas Oportun\'isticas

This paper presents a comparative analysis of three routing strategies in opportunistic quantum networks. Quantum communication networks face unique challenges, such as the fragility of qubits and the need to create and maintain pairs of entangled states for reliable transmission. In this context, efficient and reliable routing is crucial to maximize the fidelity of the established routes, minimize the creation of new entangled pairs, and reduce the need for route recalculation. The routing strategies are compared based on the fidelity of the chosen routes, the number of entangled pairs created, and the number of route recalculations. The results obtained provide valuable information for the design and optimization of opportunistic quantum networks, contributing to advances in the efficiency and reliability of quantum communications.
