The ability to distribute entanglement between quantum nodes may unlock new capabilities in the future that include teleporting information across multinode networks, higher resolution detection via entangled sensor arrays, and measurements beyond the quantum limit enabled by networked atomic clocks. These new quantum networks also hold promise for the Aerospace community in areas such as deep space exploration, improved satellite communication, and synchronizing drone swarms. Although exciting, these applications are a long way off from providing a “real-world” benefit, as they have only been theoretically explored or demonstrated in small-scale experiments. An outstanding challenge is to identify near-term use cases for quantum networks; this may be an intriguing new area of interest for the aerospace community, as the quantum networking field would benefit from more multidisciplinary collaborations. This paper introduces quantum networking, discusses the difficulties in distributing entanglement within these networks, highlights recent progress toward this endeavor, and features two current case studies on mobile quantum nodes and an entangled clock network, both of which are relevant to the aerospace community.
