The QED-C roadmap defines specific hardware milestones—such as quantum repeaters and optical switches—that are essential to transition quantum networks from point-to-point experiments to commercially viable distributed systems. By identifying critical gaps in transmission distance and fidelity for applications like blind computing and secure communications, this report provides a clear technical target for researchers developing the next generation of quantum infrastructure.
QED-C Roadmap Outlines Technology Requirements for Future Quantum Networks

Insider Brief Press release – The Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) today released a new Quantum Networking Applications Roadmap, identifying the technologies and performance improvements needed to enable quantum networks for commercially valuable applications in secure communications, networked computing, and distributed sensing. As quantum computing, sensing, and security technologies mature, their capabilities and value will also depend on whether quantum information can be shared reliably […]
QED-C has released a Quantum Networking Applications Roadmap outlining the technologies and performance improvements needed for future quantum network applications. The roadmap evaluates 10 applications across secure communications, networked quantum computing, and distributed sensing, identifying key requirements including quantum repeaters, optical switches, and satellite infrastructure. The report finds that current quantum network capabilities support only limited point-to-point applications, with further…
