Although point-to-point quantum networks have existed for years, until recently the absence of scalable quantum computing networks and of functional quantum repeaters had hindered the scale of their network topology and physical range.  Nevertheless, breakthrough quantum networking protocols and demonstrations have been expanding overall capabilities rapidly. Blind computing, distributed quantum computing, distributed quantum position navigation and timing, clock synchronization, and position authentication are additional technologies that could benefit from distributed entanglement-based quantum networking, which operate on different principles than the current point-to-point QKD links. These second generation entanglement distribution networks blur the line between computing and networking and open new possibilities for quantum computing and secure communications. To achieve large-scale quantum supercomputers with ultimate horizontal scaling, it is becoming clear that modular quantum processing will be extremely valuable. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: • Realizing efficient qubit-photon interfaces • Finding scalable qubit fabrication methods • Understanding novel qubit platforms • Achieving efficient conversion of qubit-native photons to telecom band • Increasing optical and spin coherence especially in nanophotonic devices Guest Editors David Awschalom, University of Chicago Ronald Hanson, Delft University of Technology Stephanie Simmons, Simon Fraser University Submission Deadline: September 30, 2024  LEARN MORE > Tell Us What You Think!
