QUANTUM INTERNET
Dutch Developers create the World’s First rudimentary Quantum network
The first entanglement-based, multi-node quantum network is an important milestone towards the future quantum internet
Early Internet revolutionized how we connect and communicate. Almost four decades later, it has become an integral part of our lives. Everything from work, education, entertainment & business is conducted online. However, it has given rise to significant cybersecurity issues, which have ballooned recently. And this is where a futuristic quantum internet can help.
Researchers around the world are currently working towards the first versions of a quantum internet. And the breakthrough endeavor that we are going to talk about today is one such significant step in that direction. In another landmark research, a team of researchers from QuTech in the Netherlands has now developed the first multi-node quantum network, connecting three quantum processors — a milestone towards a future quantum internet.
However, the EU is not the only one promoting the development of the quantum internet. China & the U.S are also major players in these endeavors. Recently, Chinese scientists established entanglement over a record-breaking 1,200…
