Participants of the DIGITAL Weeks at the Council of the European Union had the opportunity to visit the Quantum Internet Alliance (QIA) booth on 03 April 2025 in Brussels.

The event aimed to bring together academic researchers and policymakers with the aim of fostering better-informed decision-making on emerging technologies, such as the quantum internet.

At the booth, our Architecture Team Lead Nico Seidler and our Outreach Manager Jeremiah Fajardo-Oosterman engaged with attendees, answering questions about the consortium’s work, our partners, and the state-of-the-art technologies being developed towards building a quantum internet prototype network. Discussions covered a range of topics, including potential use cases and the broader vision for Europe’s quantum future.

A highlight of the exhibit was a hands-on demonstration of the Quantum Network Explorer, QIA’s open educational platform developed by QuTech, alongside a display of the diamond chip used in QIA’s research lab in Delft.

QIA Director Stephanie Wehner also delivered an insightful presentation and moderated a panel discussion, offering a thorough walk-through of the current state of quantum internet research and innovation across Europe.
