The Center for Quantum Networks (CQN) is taking on one of the great engineering challenges of the 21st century: to lay the technical and social foundations of the quantum Internet. The quantum Internet will surpass the capabilities of today's Internet because of the unique advantages of entanglement—a coordination of the quantum states of particles serving as computational bits in a way that is not possible in the realms of classical physics. This will spur new technology industries and a competitive marketplace of quantum service providers and application developers.
