Towards Quantum Internet Using Hybrid Quantum Technology*

Quantum technology has rapidly developed on various platforms over the past five years. Specifically, there are two major categories for suppressing thermal noise to under quantum level: using cryogenic temperature or raising the energy level to much larger than room temperature (i.e., in the optical frequency regime). Both approaches have demonstrated their own advantages; thus, the need to link them becomes increasingly pertinent. By hybridizing the two, we aim to build an integrated system towards the goal of quantum internet.
