The transition from classical networking to a secure Quantum Internet is currently bottlenecked by the exponential degradation of fragile quantum states when transmitted over long physical distances. Traditional models rely on quantum teleportation and physical entanglement swapping, which are highly susceptible to channel noise and require massive hardware redundancy. The Topological Q-JSON Protocol (TQP) proposes a novel, hybrid network architecture that bypasses the need to physically transmit complex quantum states through noisy fiber-optic channels. TQP utilizes a bifurcated model: it establishes an unconditionally secure classical channel using Differential Phase Shift Quantum Key Distribution (DPS-QKD), and transmits a classical, machine-readable “topological recipe” formatted as a JSON payload. The receiving node uses this payload to locally reconstruct a deterministic, hype rentangled cluster state within a gauge-invariant subspace. This architecture bridges the gap between high-level software engineering and low-level physical quantum hardware.
