Towards large scale quantum networks

Thesis

Quantum computing has the potential to solve problems that take current classical computers much longer to solve. The last two decades witnessed a substantial development of various physical platforms, most of which have shown a "Proof of principle" demonstration for quantum computing. We are now in a critical stage where the goal is to develop the system to a large scale so that we can make quantum computing useful for real world applications. However, the question of which physical platf...
