QUANTUM INTERNET

Abstract

Today’s Internet is a global communications network used to transfer, process, and store classical information. The quantum Internet is a hypothetical high-speed Internet that provides ultra-secure connectivity to quantum devices across the globe. It is a network of quantum computers that will someday send, compute, and receive information encoded in quantum states. It is a communications network that will transform industries, increase security, and alter the way we transmit information. While quantum computers exist in the physical world, the concept of quantum Internet is currently theoretical. In its infant form, the quantum Internet promises to make the digital domain safer, more productive, and more powerful than ever before. In this study, we provide a primer on quantum Internet, which provides a large-scale application of advanced quantum communication technologies and protocols.
