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…
