  As the inevitable development trend of quantum key distribution, quantum
networks have attracted extensive attention, and many prototypes have been
deployed over recent years. Existing quantum networks based on optical fibers
or quantum satellites can realize the metro and even global communications.
However, for some application scenarios that require emergency or temporary
communications, such networks cannot meet the requirements of rapid deployment,
low cost, and high mobility. To solve this problem, we introduce an important
concept of classical networks, i.e., self-organization, to quantum networks,
and give two simple network prototypes based on acquisition, tracking, and
pointing systems. In these networks, the users only need to deploy the network
nodes, which will rapidly, automatically, and adaptively organize and mange a
quantum network. Our method expands the application scope of quantum networks,
and gives a new approach for the design and implementation of quantum networks.
It also provides users with a low-cost access network solution, and can be used
to fundamentally solve the security problem of classical self-organizing
networks.
