Quantum Consensus: an overview

Quantum Physics 2021-01-13 v1 Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing Emerging Technologies

Abstract

We review the literature about reaching agreement in quantum networks, also called quantum consensus. After a brief introduction to the key feature of quantum computing, allowing the reader with no quantum theory background to have minimal tools to understand, we report a formal definition of quantum consensus and the protocols proposed. Proposals are classified according to the quantum feature used to achieve agreement.
