I don't see the point of building a Quantum Internet unless Quantum
Computers were close to practical implementation because its only advantage
is its ability to supply secure encryption even if your opponent has a
Quantum Computer.

Incidentally American companies are starting to fall behind in the race to
build the first practical Quantum Computer because there are less than a
thousand experts in this field in the entire world and Trump's State
Department is reluctant to approve visas to foreign scientists so they can work
in the USA.
