                                    | Summary: | Quantum network is expected to provide new applications based on fundamental quantum mechanics such as entanglement, superposition and non-cloning, and those are not possible with non-quantum networks (e.g. conventional digital networks).
This Supplement aims to identify technical considerations for quantum network. |
