Quantum Networks – Between Reality and Future

Quantennetze – zwischen Realität und Zukunft in DFN-Mitteilungen 100 Page 34

They have long since ceased to be mere dreams of the future, but are mostly in an experimental state – quantum networks. Our author Dr. Peter Kaufmann and our author Dr. Susanne Naegele-Jackson once again enter the world of qubits and explain which structures, network components and devices are necessary and why heterogeneity in particular plays a major role in the field of quantum network architecture.
