Designing tomorrow's quantum internet

Principles of quantum mechanics promise a future internet that connects wide variety devices together in coherent and secure fashion. It is well known due to the size this internet, repeaters will be critical part similar fashion importance today's telecommunications internet. Given inherent differences between classical physics, it essential establish how function including we route information as functionality need provide. Our considerations here go far beyond key distribution instead focus on true network connected devices, computers sensors. We show efficient operation such networks relies seamless integration both communication resources.
