SUMMARY:Public Quantum Network: The First Node
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Keshav Kapoor (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
 )\n\nAbstract: \nQuantum networks are being developed around the globe in 
 order to facilitate cryptographic systems\, improve metrology\, and advanc
 e quantum computing systems. These networks have yet to be made readily av
 ailable to the general public. We have developed a publicly accessible qua
 ntum network node\, located in Urbana-Champaign.  We utilize a polarizati
 on-based entanglement source located at the University of Illinois Urbana-
 Champaign. One of the photons from the source is routed through fiber opti
 c cables to the Urbana Free Library\, a public library. In order to introd
 uce quantum mechanics concepts we develop a series of displays\, activitie
 s\, and written resources that build up to quantum entanglement and encour
 age people to directly interact with photons in the network. These resourc
 es culminate in a projection measurement system located in the library\, w
 here the public can choose measurement bases and perform their own CHSH in
 equality measurements.\nShort Bio:\nKeshav Kapoor received the B.A. degree
  in physics and applied mathematics from the University of California\, Be
 rkeley\, in 2021. He is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree at the Univers
 ity of Illinois Urbana–Champaign advised by professors Paul Kwiat and Vi
 rginia Lorenz. His research focuses on quantum information science\, optic
 s\, and networks. Before starting the PhD program\, he was a Quantum Compu
 ting Associate with the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab)\,
  where he had been working on the FQNET Project.\n
