Bridging the gap: From quantum hardware to a universally programmable Quantum Internet

The vision of a Quantum Internet is to enable radically new Internet applications by bringing fundamental elements of quantum mechanics – entanglement – to Internet users around the world. Amongst many other new applications, such entanglement makes it impossible to eavesdrop on communication. Unfortunately, we currently lack the knowledge to program and control these new types of networks. The gap between hardware and usable software applications must be closed first. This project will develop the first architecture that can make the Quantum Internet programmable so that anyone can develop useful software applications in the future.
