RESEARCH

Connecting quantum devices to exploit their full potential is the next step in establishing useful applications of quantum technologies and making them accessible to a wide audience. Building such a quantum internet requires the development of new protocols, for example for entanglement distillation, certification and distribution of quantum states. We approach these issues not only from a fundamental perspective, but also consider practical limitations - such as decoherence, noise and imperfections - and analyze both their effects and ways to minimize them.
