CQN aims to lay the foundations of the quantum internet - a communications network that would be more secure and could work with the next generation of computers. The CQN will also investigate the impact of a future quantum internet on education, workforce development, innovation and society. Quantum technology takes advantage of the properties of electrons, photons, and atoms to develop computers powerful enough to process a massive amount of information. The center will be at the forefront of creating the future quantum internet.
Research Areas
A major focus of the CQN team will be advancing key underlying technologies, including fundamental quantum materials and devices, the quantum and classical processing required at a network node, and quantum network protocols and architectures. CQN also aims to demonstrate the first U.S.-based fault-tolerant quantum network that can distribute quantum information at high speeds, in high fidelity and over long distances, and to simultaneously serve multiple user groups. CQN research will accelerate recent advances in quantum computing by scaling quantum computational capabilities with distributed access through a quantum network.
