Here comes the world’s first ever multi-node quantum networkThere have already been many laboratory demonstrations, commonly using fibre optics, of a physical link between two quantum devices, but two nodes do not a network make. The greater the distance of travel, the more quantum devices and intermediary nodes can be…

Could we be on the verge of a new Quantum Super highway?
Quanta Magazine“In the long run, if these techniques are to become practical, they will require a quantum network,” said Mikhail Lukin, a quantum optics specialist at Harvard University. By contrast, the construction of a quantum internet, Bland-Hawthorn said, is “decades from reality.” “It’s very exciting and surprising to see that…
What is the quantum Internet and what uses could it have in the future – Explica .coIn research laboratories around the world, scientists are currently working on a new generation of computers: the quantum computers. But what is it, what does it consist of and what uses could it have?…
Blueprint for a robust quantum future“Spin defects have a central role to play in creating new quantum devices, whether they be small quantum computers, the quantum internet, or nanoscale quantum sensors,” continued Anderson. The key defect properties are spin, optical (for example, how light interacts with the spin of the…
How teleportation is powering the internet of the futureQuantum networks, however, are almost here: “Right now the typical quantum communication experiments are in a range of 50 to 100 kilometres of fibre optics,” says Valivarthi. As Chairman Mao said, probably not about quantum mechanics, “If you want to know the…
First Multinode Quantum Network Paves the Way for the Quantum InternetFor example, the quantum Internet could link together small quantum devices to create a large quantum cluster with more compute power than the most sophisticated classical supercomputers. ” QuTech, a quantum research institute based in Delft, has published new work…
First Quantum Network Has Been Established In Breakthrough ResearchIn a study conducted by two institutions in the Netherlands, scientists have created the first quantum network using quantum entanglement, successfully connecting three devices together. Quantum entanglement, put simply, is a state of two or more particles in which observing the state…
Inverse Daily: 5 stories that investigate the next 100 years on Earth“If a volcano wants to erupt, it’s going to erupt,” volcanologist-turned-science journalist Robin George Andrews tells Inverse. “It would cause agricultural problems, ash would clog up car engines, knock out power lines, pollute waterways.” NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter took…
Telecoms Diversification Taskforce: findings and reportThe phasing out of these older services has been completed or in process in a number of other countries (e.g. Australia, Canada, USA, Japan, South Korea). Currently telecoms activity, particularly research and testing, is fragmented and there is no central coordinating mechanism, so coordination of…
In a push to support the wider Quantum technology industry, the US DOE (Department of Energy) has announced it is going to provide $25m towards a quantum internet which will go into research. The funds will push the development of a Quantum Internet and be used for basic research and to help design, develop and produce a quantum internet testbed at a regional scale or intra-city or inter-city level.
