TU Delft Lays Out Broad Plan for a Quantum Internet 

University research at TU Delft, Netherlands, has laid out a broad roadmap for a quantum internet.  The plan develops the quantum network around two concepts presently unknown to the current internet: (1) Entanglement’s synchronization capability between distant locations; and,  (2) entanglement’s inherent security, considered unbreakable. Engineering, computer science, and physics, all must come into agreement and collaborate closely to enable the increasing functionality of each stage.

Ytterbium: Rare Earth; Make QC Networks Commonplace?

French and Swiss research teams have tested varying amplitude and direction of magnetic fields around atoms of the rare earth element, Ytterbium. The teams have found a “magic point” which permits a thousand-fold increase in coherence. Such a discovery helps move along the concept of building quantum computing networks with the aid of quantum repeaters. High-coherence (longevity) is needed to ensure signals sent are alive for the entire distance to the receiver, or the next repeater as the case may be.
