Fraunhofer ILT puts quantum internet node into operation - starting point for European networking

Press Release /

Fraunhofer ILT has started operating a quantum internet node that it developed with its Dutch partner TNO. The system is almost identical to the network nodes with which the Dutch research center QuTech demonstrated a quantum entanglement link between The Hague and Delft. The new node will serve as a research platform. Fraunhofer ILT is testing it with partners from industry and science in a local network and continuing to develop the technology. The institute is focusing on photonic components: quantum frequency converters, lasers, optics or single photon sources.
