Thanks, that was really intrresting.

Still, it seems like what is needed here is more a quantum LAN, or possibly even just an on board interconnect between quantum processors. The focus on wide area quantum networks feels a bit odd.

One application we care about is using quantum computers to build high resolution telescopes https://arxiv.org/abs/1107.2939. A wide area network is required because the telescopes need to be far apart.
