量子网络以纠缠和量子测量为基础，为通信系统带来新的功能。量子物理效应可用于检测窃听，以提高分离的天文仪器的共享灵敏度，或者创建分布式状态，以使用传送范围内启用数值量子计算。因为量子数据是脆弱的，并且某些量子操作是概率的，因此错误和分布式计算必须在节点之间进行积极管理，甚至可以合作管理。解决这些问题的解决方案将与纯粹的经典网络具有相似之处，也将具有差异。大规模量子网络和互联网工作的体系结构正在开发中，与物理层以及低级错误管理和连接技术的理论和实验工作并行。随着未进入的量子网络已经部署，纠缠的网络可能会在未来几年内出现，并且将在未来十年内形成一个充满活力的研究主题。
Quantum networks build on entanglement and quantum measurement to bring new capabilities to communication systems. Quantum physical effects can be used to detect eavesdropping, to improve the shared sensitivity of separated astronomical instruments, or to create distributed states that will enable numerical quantum computation over a distance using teleportation. Because quantum data is fragile and some quantum operations are probabilistic, errors and distributed calculations must be managed aggressively and perhaps cooperatively among nodes. Solutions to these problems will have both similarities to and differences from purely classical networks. Architectures for large-scale quantum networking and internetworking are in development, paralleling theoretical and experimental work on physical layers and low-level error management and connection technologies. With unentangled quantum networks already deployed, entangled networks may appear within the next few years and will form a vibrant research topic in the coming decade.
