| contents | The integration of sensing and communication can achieve ubiquitous sensing while enabling ubiquitous communication. Within the gradually improving global communication, the integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system based on optical fibers can accomplish various functionalities, such as urban structure imaging, seismic wave detection, and pipeline safety monitoring. With the development of quantum communication, quantum networks based on optical fiber are gradually being established. In this paper, we propose an integrated sensing and quantum network (ISAQN) scheme, which can achieve secure key distribution among multiple nodes and distributed sensing under the standard quantum limit. CV-QKD protocol and the round-trip multi-band structure are adopted to achieve the multi-node secure key distribution. Meanwhile, the spectrum phase monitoring (SPM) protocol is proposed to realize distributed sensing. It determines which node is vibrating by monitoring the frequency spectrum and restores the vibration waveform by monitoring the phase change. The scheme is experimentally demonstrated by simulating the vibration in a star structure network. Experimental results indicate that this multi-user quantum network can achieve a secret key rate (SKR) of approximately 0.7 $\rm{Mbits/s}$ for each user under 10 $\rm{km}$ standard fiber transmission and its network capacity is 8. In terms of distributed sensing, it can achieve a vibration response bandwidth ranging from 1 $\rm{Hz}$ to 2 $\rm{kHz}$, a strain resolution of 0.50 $\rm{n}$$\varepsilon$$/\sqrt{\rm{Hz}}$, and a spatial resolution of 0.20 $\rm{m}$ under shot-noise-limited detection. The proposed ISAQN scheme enables simultaneous quantum communication and distributed sensing in a multi-point network, laying a foundation for future large-scale quantum networks and high-precision sensing networks. |
