Time synchronisation in networks is important for many applications. This article presents the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and its extension PTPv2 White Rabbit. The later one enables clock synchronisations with precisions in the sub nano second time scale.

If you want to get a closer look at quantum computing right now, you can use simulators to get a good start in the world of QuBits, quantum networks and tap-proof quantum protocols. The article offers practical examples of simulation software and platforms.

They have long since ceased to be mere dreams of the future, but are mostly in an experimental state - quantum networks. Our author Dr. Peter Kaufmann and our author Dr. Susanne Naegele-Jackson once again enter the world of qubits and explain which structures, network components and devices are necessary and why heterogeneity in particular plays a major role in the field of quantum network architecture.

Beaming, walking through walls - In the quantum world, crazy things have moved into the realm of possibility, but we are not yet at home in this world. In order to take advantage of the revolutionary applications of quantum technology in the future, we first need to understand it better. A brief insight into the world of qubits as well as some basic mechanisms of quantum technology...
