contents Nowadays, quantum computing has reached the engineering phase, with fully-functional quantum processors integrating hundred of noisy qubits available. Yet -- to fully unveil the potential of quantum computing out of the labs and into business reality -- the challenge ahead is to substantially scale the qubit number, reaching orders of magnitude exceeding the thousands (if not millions) of noise-free qubits. To this aim, there exists a broad consensus among both academic and industry communities about considering the distributed computing paradigm as the key solution for achieving such a scaling, by envision multiple moderate-to-small-scale quantum processors communicating and cooperating to execute computational tasks exceeding the computational resources available within a single processing device. The aim of this survey is to provide the reader with an overview about the main challenges and open problems arising with distributed quantum computing, and with an easy access and guide towards the relevant literature and the prominent results from a computer/communications engineering perspective.
