Observation notes

The reference experimentalist for entanglement-based quantum networks. His NV-centre group at QuTech produced the loophole-free Bell test (2015), the first three-node network (2021), and first teleportation between non-adjacent network nodes (2022). Anchor node of the Dutch/EU quantum internet effort.
