From Fiber to Quantum: The Next Generation of Network Capabilities

Quantum networks are opening the door to entirely new capabilities that cannot be realized in classical ways. In this dynamic 25-minute panel, experts from a leading network provider (Deutsche Telekom), a quantum infrastructure company (Qunnect, Inc.), and academia (TUD Dresden University of Technology) – guided by an experienced moderator – explore how telecom networks can deliver unique quantum resources such as entanglement.

What becomes possible when networks provide entanglement as a service – from distributed computing to sensing and novel security protocols? What roadmap lies ahead from research to deployment? And what have recent field trials revealed about real-world challenges and scaling opportunities? Join us for concrete insights, candid perspectives, and a forward-looking discussion on the next evolution of quantum networking.
