🤔What can the #quantuminternet actually do? The QIA Use Case Team led by Michele Amoretti has been working on gathering real-world use cases that show how quantum technologies can support privacy, security and performance in practice, not just in theory. From secure proxy voting and anonymous whistleblowing to quantum clock sync and astronomical imaging, the examples we are working on highlight how a general-purpose quantum internet could serve a wide range of domains.

🔥 HOT OFF THE PRESS: QIA Director Stephanie Wehner wins the prestigious €1M Körber European Science Prize for pioneering the #quantuminternet Her team's recent work at QuTech is the world's first #quantumnetwork operating system, the QNodeOS. It was cited by Körber European Science as "a vital boost to Europe's technological competitiveness." The Körber Prize is one of Europe’s most significant science honors, awarded annually for outstanding research with high potential for real-world impact. This award comes during the UN’s International Year of Quantum Science, a fitting spotlight towards a quantum internet pioneer. Congratulations, Stephanie! 👏 More info: https://lnkd.in/gi9AthYA
