“…As an adequate answer to the quantum supremacy of quantum computers, the development of the quantum Internet 30 – 43 has already started both in theory and experiment 32 , 34 , 36 , 39 , 44 – 46 , with a primary aim to provide unconditional security with advanced network services 31 – 34 , 36 , 38 , 41 , 44 – 64 . A common attribute of quantum computer architectures and the quantum Internet 30 , 31 , 52 , 65 – 119 , from an abstract theoretical point of view, are scalable distributed quantum systems 120 – 137 . Performing quantum computation in a distributed quantum system can also be approached as a maximization problem since a computational problem fed into the quantum system defines an objective function.…”
