Will we all be using the quantum internet in the future?
The situation may turn out to be similar to the classical internet: At first hardly anyone could imagine that today everyone would be walking around with internet access in their pockets, using satellites to determine our location and navigating using the internet. We're still at a very early stage as far as the quantum internet is concerned. Our current research is still on fundamentals, looking at things like: Can we connect these systems? Can we succeed in disseminating quantum states all over the world? The potentials of this kind of system that we know of today would already be revolutionary for some fields, and I'm sure there will be very many applications which nobody is even thinking of today.
