Recent Advances Towards the Quantum Internet
The quantum Internet is an essential component of the future quantum world. Quantum networking progresses in two generations. The first generation is characterized by the transport of classical data over quantum technology. The upcoming second generation is the transport of quantum data over quantum technology. This talk will review the strengths and weaknesses of the adopted and deployed first-generation quantum networking technology. We will also explore the second-generation mechanisms enabling applications such as distributed computing and quantum sensing.
