Claim 7:
8. At least one non-transitory storage device that includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, comprising:
determine, by one or more processors, a number of quantum nodes, among a plurality of ground-based nodes and a plurality of satellite nodes, to form a desired quantum network topology;
quantum entangle a pair of qubits, each qubit associated with a respective quantum node that are each included with the quantum network topology;
couple two quantum nodes, belonging to different network segments, based on quantum entanglement of a respect qubit of each respective node; and
establish the desired quantum network topology by creating a 2-D cluster based on the coupling of at least two quantum nodes.
