This book provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly advancing research in quantum networks, both in theory and application. While the classical internet has become essential in our daily lives, its communication techniques have limitations, such as vulnerability to interception and eavesdropping. Quantum networks, by transmitting quantum qubits, address these security concerns using the principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition, no-cloning, and Heisenberg uncertainty. Kimble first proposed the concept of a quantum internet in 2008, envisioning a network that harnesses quantum devices and laws to transmit information. Wehner and colleagues reviewed the steps necessary to achieve a quantum internet in 2018, outlining development stages leading to increasingly powerful applications. While a fully functional quantum internet is still in progress, significant advances have been made through experiments, such as satellite-based quantum key distribution networks and quantum metropolitan area networks. This book aims to provide a unified theoretical framework for students and researchers interested in the quantum internet, offering insights into topics like network communication theory, secure communication, distributed computation, nonlocality, and quantum configuration. By presenting cutting-edge research and potential applications in the field of quantum information processing, including the quantum internet, this book stands out as a valuable resource for beginners, undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers in physics, computer science, and information science. It bridges the gap between theoretical perspectives and practical applications, offering a comprehensive guide to the exciting possibilities of quantum networks.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
