Quantum Internet Use Cases: Overview and Status

The quantum internet is moving from theory toward practical exploration. In this introductory webinar, we will focus on quantum internet use cases—what they are, why they matter, and where things stand today.
The session will provide a brief overview of the quantum internet, followed by a discussion of emerging and proposed use cases, including their current level of maturity and relevance to real-world scenarios. It will also highlight how research initiatives and partners are working with industry, government, and other stakeholders to understand where and how a future quantum internet can deliver value.
The webinar will be led by Michele Amoretti, QIA Use Case Team Lead and Director of the Quantum Software Laboratory at the University of Parma, who will present the material and engage directly with participants. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions live during the session.
Participation is free, but registration is required and places are limited.
Register early to secure your spot and join the discussion.
Organised by Quantum Internet Alliance (QIA), this webinar is the first in a series on quantum internet use cases. Subsequent sessions will explore individual use cases in depth, one by one, providing a closer look at their objectives, technical requirements, and potential impact.
