Key Highlights:
- Introduces a software‐defined networking (SDN) framework for elastic optical networks (EONs) enabling the coexistence of classical data channels and continuous‐variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) channels. Optica Publishing Group
- Develops dynamic spectrum allocation algorithms that account for quantum noise sensitivity, aiming to reduce blocking probability for both quantum and classical services. Optica Publishing Group+1
- Demonstrates optimized spectrum utilization and shows that integrating CV-QKD into an SDN‐controlled EON can support secure, high‐capacity optical transport under shared infrastructure constraints.
