Quantum network interconnects and heterogeneous quantum communication networks

Join TNO on 2 December 2025 (15:00 CET) for a forward‐looking webinar that dives into one of the key challenges in quantum communication: linking incompatible quantum platforms.

As quantum technologies evolve, many different physical systems and encoding schemes are being developed in parallel. But to unlock the full potential of quantum networks, we need interconnects: technologies that bridge these disparate systems and enable entanglement-based connections across them.

In this webinar, quantum experts Gustavo Do Amaral and Nienke ten Haaf, moderated by Ines Corveira Rodrigues, will:

• Discuss the design principles behind quantum interconnects, and how they can serve as common interfaces in quantum networks.
  

• Explain how interconnects are relevant not just for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), but also for entanglement-based network architectures.
  

• Present the most promising technological solutions, as well as concrete steps toward their practical implementation and deployment.

Quantum interconnects are not just a technical curiosity. They form the backbone of heterogeneous quantum communication networks, networks where different kinds of quantum hardware (e.g., different qubit platforms) can communicate securely. This is crucial for scalable, future-proof quantum-secure infrastructures.
