Abstract
It is now widely accepted that a global quantum internet will be developed in the future with many of the essential elements already demonstrated in the laboratory. We are at the stage where many of these elements are being integrated together, however the communities focus has been on small scale networks whose topology makes the of routing of quantum signals quite forward. Moving forward we need to explore how routing will work on this larger scale quantum networks especially when the networks entire topology is not known to all users of that network. We will discuss various routing options that are available and show these impose quite different constraints on the fundamental building blocks of the network. This will be illustrated with a number of examples including several with no classical analog.
