By Amina Bashir and Doug FinkeOne of the key applications of quantum technology is to create a quantum network that can communicate messages and quantum states in a way that gives them more protection and other properties due to the laws of physics. Although this research is still very early, a number of organizations have started to create quantum testbeds to try out these quantum networks in order to continue developing them and advancing the technology.
