Abstract: Quantum network enables quantum communication among quantum nodes and provides advantages that are unavailable in any classical network. Based on rapidly developing science and technology in quantum communication, the studies on quantum network have also made important progresses recent years. In this study, we briefly review the experimental progresses in building quantum network based on optical field and discuss the challenges toward a quantum Internet.
