Public Quantum Network: The First Node

Quantum Physics 2024-10-10 v1 Applied Physics Physics Education Optics Physics and Society

Abstract

We present a quantum network that distributes entangled photons between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a public library in Urbana. The network allows members of the public to perform measurements on the photons. We describe its design and implementation and outreach based on the network. Over 400 instances of public interaction have been logged with the system since it was launched in November 2023.
