The overall purpose of this study is to explore the potential of quantum-based communication networks, leveraging the unique properties of quantum entanglement and superposition, to address critical applications such as image processing, machine learning, data mining, and encryption. Additionally, this research aims to overcome the limitations of traditional binary systems in the field of computing. The basic methodology of this research involves a comprehensive investigation into the establishment of end-to-end entanglement between two quantum computers, which is fundamental for building robust quantum networks. Performance measures for quantum computers within the context of quantum networks are defined and evaluated, with a specific focus on network design, reliability, security, and trust. Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) devices are introduced as a technological advancement to enhance security and trust mechanisms within quantum communication networks. Furthermore, the study addresses network congestion issues and outlines quantum-based solutions, while also examining emerging standards for their assessment. A distinctive contribution of this research lies in the exploration of quantum key distribution (QKD) and the utilization of advanced cryptosystem methodologies to strengthen security and trust within quantum-based networks. In conclusion, this research seeks to bridge existing gaps by addressing the challenge of achieving end-to-end entanglement, evaluating critical performance metrics, introducing innovative technologies, and proposing enhancements to security and trust mechanisms. The findings of this study hold promise for not only advancing the field of quantum networking but also impacting a wider range of applications that require secure and future-oriented communication solutions in an increasingly interconnected world.
