Finding the role of quantum in a commercial world.
Rotterdam | 29 September - 1 October 2025
Ronald Hanson
National Agenda Quantum Technology Lead QuTech
Exhibition Day 2
11:00 AM From quantum computer network demonstrations at metropolitan-scale to a quantum internet
Future quantum computer networks will be able to harness the unique features of quantum entanglement in a range of novel applications on (distributed) computation, communication and metrology. To fulfill these promises, a strong worldwide effort is ongoing to gain high-fidelity control over multi-qubit nodes, to wire these up using quantum-photonic channels and to establish bespoke hardware and software control stacks.
Here I will introduce the field of quantum computer networks. I will then present the state of the art including the first lab-based multi-node networks, entanglement distribution between solid-state qubit chips over deployed fiber on metropolitan scale and a rudimentary network operating system. I will then discuss the exciting new prospects for scaling these technologies using a novel qubit platform and integrated photonics.
