A vision has formed in recent years of the components necessary for a large-scale quantum network. Single trapped atoms can serve as the nodes of this network, with the links established by flying photons that are coupled to the atoms using optical resonators. This review describes progress towards the goal of multinode networks using the current generation of experiments, which have achieved unprecedented levels of atomic qubit control and light-matter coupling efficiencies.

Quantum-dot based photonic quantum networks (2017, background): “It is popularly referred to as the ’quantum internet’ [1] and has been rooted in the atomic physics community where an impressive proof-of-concept elementary two-node quantum network has been achieved [2].”
Robust quantum-network memory using decoherence-protected subspaces of nuclear spins (2016, background): “Pioneering experiments with atomic ensembles [3], single atoms trapped in vacuum [2,4,10,11], and spins in solids [12–14] have demonstrated entanglement between two optically connected nodes.”
Deterministic delivery of remote entanglement on a quantum network (2017, background): “In combination with recent progress on robust storage of quantum states during remote entangling operations [10, 11], the techniques reported here reveal a direct path to the creation of many-body quantum states distributed over multiple quantum network nodes.”
Development of Quantum Interconnects (QuICs) for Next-Generation Information Technologies (2021, methodology): “For instance, optical cavities can provide an optical interface to atomic quantum computing modules [26] but it remains a challenge to integrate cavities with neutral-atom quantum computing architectures based on Rydberg interactions [27] or trapped-ion quantum computing architectures [28].”
Quantum matter built from nanoscopic lattices of atoms and photons (2018, methodology): “In conventional Fabry-Perot cavities (Miller et al., 2005; Reiserer and Rempe, 2015), it is possible to achieve a cooperativity on the order of C ∼ 10–100.”
