PostDoc Position in Quantum Networks The vision of a Quantum Internet is to provide fundamentally new internet technology by enabling quantum communication between any two points on earth. Such a Quantum Internet will – in synergy with the ‘classical’ Internet that we have today – connect quantum processors to achieve unparalleled capabilities that are provably impossible using only classical communication. At QuTech and the Quantum Internet Alliance, we are working on making such a network a reality.
