Push-to-Talk A half-duplex group communication model in which a user presses a button to transmit to an entire talk group and releases it to listen, delivered over dedicated trunked radio infrastructure… Concept/Framework QOS QOS is a set of mechanisms used to prioritize and manage network traffic by controlling how bandwidth, delay, and loss are handled for different traffic classes. Operations Quality of Experience The end-user's actual perceived satisfaction with an application or service, shaped by underlying network-level performance metrics such as latency and throughput but not reducible to any single one of them,… Concept/Framework Quantum Computing A computing paradigm that performs computation using quantum bits (qubits) exploiting superposition and entanglement, capable of efficiently solving certain classes of mathematical problems — most significantly integer factorization via Shor's… Concept/Framework Quantum Cryptography The field of cryptographic techniques and protocols that derive their security properties from quantum-mechanical phenomena rather than from the computational difficulty of a mathematical problem, encompassing quantum key distribution and… Concept/Framework Quantum Key Distribution A key establishment method that uses the quantum-mechanical properties of photons — typically their polarization or phase state — to generate a shared secret key between two parties over a… Protocol Quantum Networking The field and infrastructure for transmitting and distributing quantum states between physically separated nodes over quantum channels, providing the connectivity layer for quantum key distribution and, in more advanced forms,… Concept/Framework Quantum Repeater A specialized device that extends the practical range of a quantum network beyond direct point-to-point transmission limits by using entanglement swapping across intermediate nodes, rather than the signal amplification or… Hardware Quantum-Safe Encryption The state of an encryption system being resistant to both classical and quantum cryptanalytic attack, achieved through the use of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, quantum key distribution, or a combination of… Concept/Framework Queue Management Queue Management is the handling of packet queues in a device or system so delay, loss, and fairness can be controlled.
