Future applications of quantum technologies will require connections between quantum systems thus creating a modular quantum network. The key difference between this quantum network and a classical network is that quantum entanglement must be transferred between quantum nodes and encoded into the quantum network, computer, or sensor that resides in each node. Photons are a natural mediator of entanglement as they can maintain coherence across long distances in optical fibers, however transferring this entanglement to a system within a quantum node remains an open challenge.
