Developing a Theory for a Quantum Internet for Global Quantum Communication.

Quantum mechanics emerged a century ago. It abandoned the deterministic worldview that underlies classical mechanics for a more general theoretical system. It is now believed that everything should be described by quantum mechanics. Furthermore, in our efforts to rethink the theoretical system for information processing based on the classical worldview within the framework of quantum mechanics, it has become clear that even information processing tasks that were previously considered intractable can now be performed within the framework of quantum mechanics. For this issue, we interviewed NTT Distinguished Researcher Koji Azuma, a leader in the field of quantum network research at NTT, about his current research and his mindset as a researcher.
