In more detail
CAT 2: National Quantum Network

Why?

  •  Sending quantum information and linking quantum systems enablesfundamental secure communication.
  • Quantum networks will ensure our digital sovereignty by connecting banks, governments entities, hospitals and other critical infrastructures.
  • The quantum network (QN) provides the fundament for the next generation digital infrastructure.
  • The NL are in a unique position to realize the QN now with leadershipin science and in existing digital infrastructures.

How?

  •  A first of its kind physical infrastructure that connects multiplequantum processors.
  • QN consists of the latest quantum-hardware and -software andserves as national testbed for new applications such as secure onlinequantum computing.
  • QN will be open for users to learn, engage with and validate industrialapplicability of quantum technology.
  • QN will connect other EU networks within the context of EuroQCI andthe Quantum Flagship using fiber and satellite links.

What?

The network will consist of three pillars:

  •  R&D network to develop hardware and software, integrate keycomponents and assess innovation in the concept phase.
  • Operational network based on state-of-the-art technology. Due to the opencharacter of this physical network players from all sectors can connect,develop and test their hardware, software and/or applications.
  • Quantum network construction support for commercial roll-out of quantum networks and services.

Quantum internet breakthrough

Researchers from QuTech have achieved a world’s first in quantum internet technology. A team led by Prof. Stephanie Wehner has developed a ‘link layer protocol’ that moves the phenomenon of quantum entanglement forward from a physics experiment towards a real-world quantum network. This brings us closer to the day when quantum internet can become a reality, delivering applications that are impossible to achieve using classical internet. Stimulating a National Quantum Network is the aim of our CAT 2 programme.
