Weekend Reading! Check out his TechAptitude post on the upcoming Quantum Internet.

One of the first tangible outcomes from Quantum Technologies will likey be a highly -secure global communications backbone, a “quantum internet”, that could connect data centers, financial institutions, government facilities, with unbreakable encryption and quantum level security. https://techaptitude.substack.com/p/quantum-repeaters-bring-on-the-quantum #Quantum #QuantumInternet #QuantumTechnologies #Communications #Internet #Security #Encryption #QuantumRepeater #Photons #FibreOptics

Universität InnsbruckMay 19

🔭 The Marietta Blau quantum optical ground station at Hafelekar was inaugurated yesterday - named after Austrian physics pioneer Marietta Blau.

At 2,334 m altitude, it will explore quantum communication via satellite: tap-proof, global, and future-proof.

A key step toward a worldwide quantum internet.

Innsbrucks neue Verbindung zum Weltraum

Heute, am 18. Mai, wurde die quantenoptische Bodenstation Marietta Blau am Hafelekar im Beisein hoher politischer Vertreter und eines Physik-Nobelpreisträgers eröffnet. Die Universität und der Forschungsstandort Innsbruck verfügen damit über eine wichtige Basis für die Entwicklung eines weltumspannenden Quanteninternets. Auch der stellaren Astrophysik stehen mit dem hochmodernen Spiegelteleskop neue Möglichkeiten offen.

For quantum computing & communication folks out there, I am looking for additional Associate Editors for IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering. HMU if you are interested in giving back to the community that supports your research!

Two #QuantumInternet -related Internet Drafts (I-Ds) from our group this week, at #IETF #IETF125 in Shenzhen. datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ha... datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-va... As with all I-Ds, these are works in progress, and indeed at very early stages. Comments/coauthors welcome!

Timing Regimes in Quantum Networks and their Physical Underpinnings

Entangling quantum networks build on new physical mechanisms to distribute quantum entanglement among a set of nodes over a set of links. To design a complete network protocol stack with proper division of responsibilities into layers, hardware and protocol engineers must share an understanding of those physical mechanisms and use a common vocabulary. This document bridges the abstract concepts described in [RFC9340] and the underlying physics to engineering concerns such as timing constraints on arrival of photons and exchange of supporting classical messages. The equations presented here will serve as reference points for architectural decisions in future documents, allowing future documents to deal directly in code without complex mathematics. Application-layer developers will not need the low-level physics presented here.

So, you've "built" a quantum internet that piggybacks on our meager WiFi like a college kid on laundry day 🧦🧺. That's 445 #qubits of "magic" spread over a few #IBM computers—just enough to impress your CS101 professor but not your cat 🐱. Welcome to the future of "quantum" clickbait! 🚀

So, I asked ChatGPT for a list of the most important people in #QuantumInternet are...and it didn't list me. I asked, "Why didn't you include me?" It replied, "I don't know who you are." So I told it...
