In this talk, I will give an overview and glimpses of research at and surrounding the NSF-ERC Center for Quantum Networks (CQN). The objective of CQN is to design and build the foundational technologies to realize fault-tolerant long-distance quantum networking supported by repeaters and satellite connections, guided by an applications roadmap and deliberate research on long-term societal impacts.

Wavefront (WF) sensing is essential in many fields such as adaptive optics (AO), qualitative ophthalmic measurement or optical testing and alignment, to name few. For instance, in the context of telescopes, especially reflectors, alignment of the optical surfaces (mirrors and field lenses) is critical for reaching the diffraction limit.
