• Abstract: As the field of the quantum internet advances, the necessity for a comprehensive guide to navigate its complexities has become increasingly crucial. Quantum computing, a more established relative, shares foundational principles with the quantum internet; however, distinguishing between the two is essential for further development and deeper understanding. This work systematically introduces the quantum internet by addressing fundamental questions: Why is it important? What are its core components? How does it function? When will it be viable? Who are the key players? What are the challenges and future directions? Through elucidating these aspects along with a comprehensive introduction to the basic concepts, we aim to provide a clear and accessible overview of the quantum internet, facilitating the groundwork for future innovations and research in the field.
