Imagine a world where communication is secure and private by nature and able to unlock technologies we haven’t yet dreamed of. This is the promise of the quantum internet—a revolutionary leap in communication, rooted in the powerful laws of quantum mechanics.

In a newly released documentary by Ammodo Docs, the Quantum Internet Alliance (QIA) Director Stephanie Wehner delves into this cutting-edge technology and the global race to build the first functional quantum internet. As one of the leading voices in quantum networks research, Wehner believes the full potential of this technology will only be realized once it’s accessible to many. “So I think, actually, we will only really learn what the full potential of this is once sufficiently many people have access to this technology, and try to do cool things with it,” she explains in the film.

As QIA Director, Wehner is spearheading the ambitious mission to establish a large-scale quantum network by 2030, connecting quantum processors across Europe. “We’re not just writing scientific papers—we’re building the quantum internet,” she emphasizes, reflecting the hands-on, innovative approach of QIA’s leadership.

QIA brings together Europe’s top research institutions, universities, and tech companies to develop this transformative network, which is poised to revolutionize industries such as cybersecurity, finance, and science. The documentary not only showcases Europe’s leading role in this quantum internet revolution, but also shines a light on Wehner’s work and challenges viewers to see the world through the eyes of visionaries like her.
