Abstract
The quantum Internet will support paradigm shifts in cybersecurity, distributed quantum computing, and sensing. Its realization, however, has been held back by the lack of practical technologies to enable deployment and scalability. To date, most demonstrations have been limited to laboratories with expensive resources such as cryogenic and vacuum systems. The authors overcome this challenge by designing a field-deployable quantum memory, based on warm atomic vapor, that demonstrates high-fidelity performance and robustness to environmental noise. This represents a key technology for distributing quantum entanglement across large-scale quantum networks.
