The plat­forms cur­rent­ly being devel­oped for quan­tum com­put­ers are based on dif­fer­ent quan­tum sys­tems such as pho­tons (par­ti­cles of light), neu­tral atoms, ions, super­con­duc­tors and semi­con­duc­tors.

In future quan­tum net­works, these sys­tems will need to com­mu­ni­cate with each oth­er, but as they rely on dif­fer­ent types of cod­ing, this could prove difficult.
