The roadmap, developed with the NSF Center for Quantum Networks and industry stakeholders, finds that current quantum networks can only support two applications — quantum key distribution and distributed quantum sensing — in limited point-to-point deployments. Key technology gaps identified include quantum repeaters, optical switches, satellite infrastructure, and improvements in qubit transmission rate, distance, fidelity, and synchronization. The report aims to guide investment and research priorities for scaling future quantum networks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
