Delft Researchers Realize The First Quantum Network Based On Entanglement
A team of researchers from QuTech in Delft has built the first quantum network that connects three quantum processors. In addition, in a proof-of-principle demonstration, they performed two essential quantum network protocols. Their results are an important step towards the future quantum internet and have now been published in Science.
The quantum internet
Thanks to the Internet, computers from anywhere on earth can be connected to each other. Many applications have emerged that were completely unimaginable at the time of the creation of the Internet a few decades ago. Researchers around the world are currently working on the first implementations of the quantum internet - a network that connects quantum devices, such as quantum computers and sensors. Where the information on the current Internet is sent in bits (which can have the value 0 or 1), the future quantum Internet will use quantum bits that can be

The quantum internet
The power of the Internet is that it allows any two computers on Earth to be connected with each other, enabling applications undreamt of at the time of its creation decades ago. Today, researchers in many labs around the world are working towards first versions of a quantum internet - a network that can connect any two quantum devices, such as quantum computers or sensors, over large distances. Whereas today s Internet distributes information in bits (that can be either 0 or 1), a future quantum internet will make use of quantum bits that can be 0 and 1 at the same time.
