Quantum Internet Vision Team

What is quantum internet?

Quantum is coming. Based on research successes at TU Delft and elsewhere in the world, we confidently predict that quantum technology will increasingly lead to valuable applications in the next decades.

The basics

In our everyday lives we experience the world according to the rules of classical physics. However, at much smaller scales, the scales of atoms and electrons, we enter a world where different rules apply: the rules of quantum mechanics.

How is this applicable?

From secure communications to cheating an online game of bridge: the quantum internet can be applied in different scenario’s.

Secure Communication

The first applications of a quantum internet are expected to be ones that better secure our communication.

Quantum enhanced GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a global satellite system that enables us to define a GPS receiver’s location anywhere on Earth.

What's the impact and its governance?

In the near future, the quantum internet can reach a level where it impacts society in several ways. How will this impact look like, and what type of governance is suitable?

Governance

We want the internet in its current classical form to comply with our public values. These values include security, safety, resilience, trust, privacy, equal access and net neutrality.

Reflection

From a technological point of view a revolution is taking shape. Ground-breaking research on quantum technology is being done at TU Delft and at institutions all over the world.
