WASHINGTON – To advance quantum network capabilities and leadership, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) announced work with five other U.S. Government agencies on May 18 to establish the Washington Metropolitan Quantum Network Research Consortium (DC-QNet) to create, demonstrate and operate a quantum network as a regional testbed.

Quantum networks, an emerging research frontier, will one day offer the ability to distribute and share quantum information securely among quantum computers, clusters of quantum sensors and related devices at regional and national distances. They can also be used to distribute ultra-precise time signals, and offer the potential to enable the creation of new applications not yet imagined.
“These agencies with world-class research capabilities will work to advance quantum network capabilities and leadership,” Gerald Borsuk, Ph.D., DC-QNet Executive Director said. “Quantum networks will be essential to modern secure communications and to computing enhancements in the 21st Century.”
The six agencies are:
U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
U.S. Naval Observatory
National Institute of Standards and Technology
National Security Agency/Central Security Services Directorate of Research
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
There are currently two out-of-region affiliates to this Consortium:
U.S. Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific
U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory
I'm sure it is all about the SALT file
(pure fucking sarcasm)
