Dear Wojciech,

Thank you and QIRG colleagues very much for the good comments to improve our document.

Your suggestions have been incorporated in the new v08 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-qirg-quantum-internet-use-cases/). Please also kindly refer to my replies inline below with my initial CW.

Best regards,
Chonggang

Hi all,

First, I thought I'd recap some of the comments from yesterday with regards to the use cases draft as reminder:

  *   Terminology: sensing vs. metrology (what's more inclusive)
     *   Suggestion: list the applications first, then pick a term
CW - Both terms were mentioned in v08

  *   Title: use cases vs. application scenarios
     *   Something to think about, might make sense
CW - "use cases" has now been replaced with "application scenarios"
I have two comments from myself:

  *   There's a bunch of typos in the latest draft. It would be worth reading it carefully and fixing them.
CW - We proofread the document and corrected them.

  *   I would like to see the newly added use cases make their relation to quantum networking more explicit. E.g. Quantum chemistry - the networking part is that with a quantum internet, one can execute such computations on a remote QC in a private way (i.e. server does not know your computation). Otherwise, it may look like a QC use case rather than a networking one.
CW - Good point! The following sentences were added in v08 (in Section 3.2.3 on pp.7)

"In this section, we include the applications for the quantum computing.  Note that, for the next couple of years we will have quantum computers as a cloud service.  Sometimes, to run such applications in the cloud while preserving the privacy, the client and the server need to exchange qubits.  Therefore, such privacy preserving quantum computing applications require a quantum internet to execute."

As all the feedback seems to be less and less major, if Rodney agrees I think we can have an RG last call after all the feedback from this meeting is taken into account. We don't have to wait until November.
CW - The co-authors of this document are very thankful for the great feedback and comments and support from you, Rodney and our QIRG colleagues, which have improved the document from the beginning v00. We look forward to the RG last call for this document.

Thanks,
Wojtek
