As quantum network hardware has made significant progress in recent years, there is an increasing focus on enhancing both the infrastructure and the corresponding software of quantum networks. To establish a comprehensive quantum network, two key stacks are employed: the quantum node stack and the quantum control stack. In this survey, we first clearly distinguish between the quantum network and the quantum internet. Then we provide a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art and use cases for quantum network stacks. Regarding the quantum control stack, we categorize it into traditional and programmable approaches. We further explore the current research challenges associated with each method to inspire ongoing investigation.

迈向完整的量子网络堆栈：一项调查


近年来，随着量子网络硬件取得了重大进展，人们越来越关注增强量子网络的基础设施和相应软件。为了建立一个全面的量子网络，需要使用两个关键堆栈：量子节点堆栈和量子控制堆栈。在本次调查中，我们首先明确区分了量子网络和量子互联网。然后，我们对量子网络堆栈的最新技术和用例进行了全面的调查。关于量子控制堆栈，我们将其分为传统方法和可编程方法。我们进一步探讨当前与每种方法相关的研究挑战，以激发正在进行的研究。
