      "summary_nl": "In de toekomst online veilig communiceren en met volledige privacy browsen? Dat zijn twee van de beloftes van een toekomstig Quantum Internet. Dit Vidi project onderzoekt quantumnetwerkknooppunten op basis van kristallen met onzuiverheden. Voor deze foutjes in het kristal gebruiken de onderzoekers twee soorten zeldzame aardelementen, een specifieke groep atomen uit het periodiek stelsel. Door het gebruik van twee soorten, hebben de knooppunten meerdere quantum bits voor het maken van netwerkconnecties. Zulke quantum netwerkknooppunten zijn belangrijk voor het maken van snellere en robuustere connecties en zetten een stap in de richting van praktisch toepasbare quantumnetwerken.",
      "summary_en": "Secure online communication and browsing with full privacy? Those are two of the promises of a future Quantum Internet. In this Vidi project, the researchers investigate quantum network nodes based on crystals with impurities. Specifically, two species of rare earth elements, a select group of atoms from the periodic table. As a result of the two-species impurities, the nodes feature multiple quantum bits to establish network connections. With such quantum network nodes, faster and more robust connections can be created. This marks a important step towards practically applicable quantum networks.",
