Hanson’s work links fundamental physics with the building blocks of a quantum internet. He coauthored the Delft experiment that tested a Bell inequality while closing major experimental loopholes. His group subsequently demonstrated entanglement across a network with multiple quantum nodes. Both depend on controlling matter-based qubits and connecting them optically, making this research a useful guide to the demanding transition from individual quantum links to coordinated network operations.
