Hi Wojtek,
a stylistic comment from the first couple of lines: should we prefer "the Quantum Internet” over “a Quantum Internet”, given that the “Internet” word is capitalized?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization_of_Internet#The_Internet_versus_generic_internets <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization_of_Internet#The_Internet_versus_generic_internets>

I usually write “the Quantum Internet” in my articles, given that my vision is about a unique global interconnected quantum network (the Quantum Internet) that augments/exploits the current unique ip-based global interconnected network (the Internet).
But I wonder whether my stylistic choice make sense.

What do you think?

Marcello
