Abstract: Entanglement, the correlations displayed between sub-systems of a multipartite quantum system, is one of the most distinguishing properties of quantum physics and a significant resource for quantum information science and technology. A quantum network is a system designed to deliver entanglement across a set of nodes. I will introduce the general framework of quantum networks – including the essential components and primitive operations needed to realize a quantum network. I will discuss applications enabled by quantum networks including secure communications, distributed sensors and distributed quantum computing. The I will also describe some of the key metrics to assess the performance of a quantum network – some of which are driven by the end user applications.
