Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, quantum information technology, represented by quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum measurement, has developed rapidly and become the focus of ICT industry. Through the analysis and discussion of the basic concepts of quantum information network, research project layout, scientific research exploration progress, future development prospects and other issues, it is known that quantum information network can realize quantum information processing systems and nodes such as quantum computers and quantum sensors through the transmission of quantum state information. The interconnection and networking is one of the important directions for the development and integration of quantum information technology in the future.

Key words: quantum information network, quantum communication, development prospect
