Schrödinger's Web — Race to Build the Quantum Internet
Professor and Hearne Chair of Theoretical Physics
Louisiana State University
Over the past 20 years bright sources of entangled photons have led to a renaissance
in quantum optical interferometry. These photon sources have been used to test the
foundations of quantum mechanics and implement some of the spooky ideas associated
with quantum entanglement such as quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography, quantum
lithography, quantum computing logic gates, and sub-shot-noise optical interferometers.
I will discuss some of these advances and the unification of optical quantum imaging,
metrology, and information processing. I will end with quantum communications and
networks and highlight advances particularly the quantum space satellite network built
in China.
