QUANT-NET : a novel quantum internet testbed

DOE's quantum internet blueprint envisions milestones that include intercampus entanglement distribution and interstate quantum entanglement distribution using quantum repeaters. QUANTNET, a novel quantum internet testbed is designed to make key strides towards these milestones by not only demonstrating the basic functions of the quantum internet, but also evaluating candidate technologies and protocols for scaling the network. In particular, the testbed aims to demonstrate a three-node trapped-ion network with two stations at LBNL and one processor at UCB allowing for gate teleportation, quantum repeater protocols, and distributed quantum computing.
