The quantum internet, which connects particles linked together by the principle of quantum entanglement, is like the early days of the classical internet – no one can yet imagine what uses it could have, according to Professor Ronald Hanson, from Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, whose team was the first to prove that the phenomenon behind it was real.
You are famous for proving that quantum entanglement is real, when, in 2015, you linked two particles that were 1.3 kilometres apart. But the main objective of your work has always been to connect entangled particles into a 'quantum internet.' What could such a network enable us to do?
