Request for Comments (RFC) 9340: Architecture Principles for a Quantum Internet is now published! Thanks to Wojtek, who originated it, and Stephanie, Shota, Marcello, Angela Sara, and Bruno, who all made invaluable contributions to it.
RFCs are the technical documents that describe the Internet. They come in several "streams", or publishing tracks. This one is from the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) stream. They may have one of several statuses, including "Standards Track", "Standard", or "Experimental". This one is "Informational", a common type for things that are ready to share and to be haggled over in a public forum, but don't yet directly impact the operation of broad swathes of the Internet itself.
Creation of this document took four years and almost a dozen formal drafts in a public forum, with lots of comments not only from the authors but from other members of the IETF and QIRG communities. Thanks, all!
