The European Quantum Internet Alliance (QIA) is a consortium of ~42 world-leading institutions working together to build a global Quantum Internet made in Europe.

Our main goals are: (1) to build the first full-stack prototype entanglement-based netw
How do we scale quantum networks from experiments to global infrastructure?

This Optics & Photonic News feature by QIA members Eleni Diamanti & Julien Laurat highlights the technologies behind our mission: building a global quantum internet made in Europe.
