Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

6.3.1 Other applications

Course subject(s) Module 6: Various applications of a quantum internet

In this course we have shown a subset of promising applications of quantum computers and a quantum internet. At this point in time, we don’t know if we have made an adequate selection, but we will find out in the years or decades to come. In this last video of applications of quantum internet, Stephanie will explain other fields that might benefit from the quantum internet.

Main takeaways

  • Quantum communication has also shown to be very useful to solve cryptographic problems, e.g. secure identification and position verification.
  • Quantum communication is used to build up correlations in a network. Classical communication is still necessary to process the result and thus solve useful tasks.
  • All of these effects are due to two properties of entanglement, namely maximum coordination and inherent privacy.
