论文摘要
在发现量子物理学的应用之后的本世纪，正在开放一个新的技术可能性世界。随着当前的十年见证量子至上的目的，量子技术已经开始改变信息的生成，传输，存储和处理的方式。量子技术的下一个主要里程碑已经快速出现 - 量子互联网。由于光是量子通信的最合乎逻辑的候选者，因此量子光子学是一项关键的启用技术。本文主要从光子学角度回顾了量子互联网的硬件方面。尽管近年来已经出现了大量的量子技术和设备，但我们更加专注于可以实现量子互联网的设备或组件。我们的方法主要是定性的，为大规模量子互联网提供了必要的技术的广泛概述。
In the century following its discovery, applications for quantum physics are opening a new world of technological possibilities. With the current decade witnessing quantum supremacy, quantum technologies are already starting to change the ways information is generated, transmitted, stored and processed. The next major milestone in quantum technology is already rapidly emerging -- the quantum internet. Since light is the most logical candidate for quantum communication, quantum photonics is a critical enabling technology. This paper reviews the hardware aspects of the quantum internet, mainly from a photonics perspective. Though a plethora of quantum technologies and devices have emerged in recent years, we are more focused on devices or components that may enable the quantum internet. Our approach is primarily qualitative, providing a broad overview of the necessary technologies for a large-scale quantum internet.
