This chapter covers quantum networking components, challenges, and likely applications. Like any network, quantum networking consists of transmission media, protocols, and networking devices. Quantum networks may be made up of classical and quantum components or be purely quantum‐based. Quantum physical networking mostly uses photons and the light is usually transmitted through fiber‐optic cable. Most quantum networking device vendors test their equipment across a range of distances and speeds, and many publish those figures so customers can see what they are considering buying performance‐wise and for comparison shopping purposes. Quantum network applications includes secure networks, quantum computing cloud, time syncing, jamming, and quantum internet. Quantum networks will start with more classical pieces and use QKD to exchange secure keys and then move to a complete quantum‐based network stack using true quantum repeaters, quantum entanglement, teleportation, and quantum swapping.
