Comment: Appears to be 100% speculative. 50% of DOIs are broken. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:32, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
The Superconducting Quantum Internet (SQNet) is a proposed network infrastructure that aims to leverage quantum mechanics via superconducting circuits to facilitate secure and highly efficient communication. SQNet could offer significant advancements in fields such as cryptography, distributed computing, and secure multi-party computation[1].
Overview[edit]
The SQNet framework would utilize quantum bits or "qubits" as the fundamental units of information, unlike classical bits which can only exist in a binary state of 0 or 1. Qubits, on the other hand, can exist in a superposition of states, thus enabling more complex information encoding and processing[2]
Technology[edit]
Superconducting Circuits[edit]
Superconducting circuits, the proposed core technology for SQNet, are macroscopic quantum systems that could facilitate strong and controllable interactions between qubits. These circuits, composed of inductive and capacitive elements that form resonant circuits, could potentially operate at temperatures near absolute zero to maintain their quantum mechanical properties. They would provide the basis for realizing quantum bits, their manipulation, and the quantum processing and transmission of information.
LK-99 and the Genesis of SQNet[edit]
The theoretical underpinnings of SQNet are influenced by the breakthroughs of the LK-99, a novel superconducting chip designed for quantum computing applications. The LK-99, celebrated for its complex array of superconducting qubits, demonstrated the potential for high-speed quantum computation and, in turn, set the stage for the conceptualization of SQNet.
Development and Research[edit]
As of 2023, the development of a functional SQNet is still a speculative technology due to several technical challenges, such as the need to maintain quantum coherence over long distances and integrating a large number of qubits within a single system. Research institutions and technology companies globally are actively investigating various aspects of this technology in an effort to surmount these obstacles and bring about a new era in communication and computation[1]
Future Prospects[edit]
The successful realization of SQNet could revolutionize various sectors including finance, defense, and information technology by providing virtually uncrackable encryption for communications and vastly improved computational capabilities.[1]. However, it could also introduce new challenges, including the potential for quantum-based cyber threats, necessitating the development of advanced countermeasures to secure quantum communications[1]
