Abstract

This invention provides a network node comprising: an optical fibre interface configured to receive, from one or more remote optical sources, a first optical signal, a second optical signal and a third optical signal, wherein the first, second and third optical signals each have a respective wavelength within an optical fibre transmission band being one of the O-band, E-band, S-band, C-band, L-band, and U/XL-band; one or more wavelength converters configured to convert the wavelength of one or more of the first optical signal, second optical signal and third optical signal; and a Rydberg-atom based transmission medium configured to be excited by the first optical signal, second optical signal and third optical signal, following wavelength conversion of one or more of the first optical signal, second optical signal and third optical signal, such that electrons of the Rydberg-atom based transmission medium are excited to a predetermined Rydberg state.
