Abstract
The development of a quantum internet is crucial for the advancement of quantum computing, enabling secure and distributed quantum computing capabilities. Despite significant progress in building small-scale quantum networks in lab environments, a fundamental barrier remained: the inability to communicate between quantum computers over metropolitan-scale distances. This thesis tackles this challenge and shows the development of a scalable quantum network hardware platform for long-distance deployment using existing internet fiber connections (Part I). To further widen the understanding of the future implications of a quantum internet, the second part of this thesis explores the social and business implications of future quantum networks (Part II). The results of thesis aim to accelerate the commercialization of a quantum internet and improve our understanding of its implications in business and society.
