Description
This presentation will provide an overview of recent activities in quantum communications and networking research using testbeds, including the potential for extending those testbeds to international sites. Quantum communications and network are particularly important research areas for a wide range of innovative applications. Recently, Northwestern University established an initiative, INQUIRE (Initiative at Northwestern for Quantum Information Research and Engineering), to conduct testbeds research to advance the future of quantum science. A major focus of this quantum networking research is creating interconnections among quantum computers, in part to address complex computational science problems through a distributed quantum environment.
