TNO launches Qu-STAR to pioneer quantum internet via space
TNO launched a new project called Qu-STAR to define the role of space in quantum information networks. The quantum internet, envisioned to connect quantum devices globally, currently faces distance limitations when relying exclusively on ground networks, restricting the exchange of quantum information to just a few hundred kilometers.
