Interview with quantum physicist Prof. Andreas Reiserer. Andreas Reiserer in his lab with an experimental setup. Researchers around the world are working on a network which could connect quantum computers with one another over long distances. Andreas Reiserer, Professor of Quantum Networks at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), explains the challenges which have to be mastered and how atoms captured in crystals can help. Professor Reiserer, what is the quantum internet and how is it different from the classical internet as we know it? - The idea is the same: We use today's internet to connect computers with one another, while the quantum internet lets quantum computers communicate with one another. But in technical terms the quantum internet is much more complex. That's why only smaller networks have been realized as yet.
