Claim 0:
1. A method of forming a quantum communications network (QCN), comprising:
determining, 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 quantum network topology;
quantum entangling, by quantum fusion circuitry, of a pair of qubits, each qubit associated with a respective quantum node that are each included with the quantum network topology;
coupling two quantum nodes, belonging to different networking segments, based on quantum entanglement of a respect qubit of each respective node; and
establishing the QCN by creating a 2-D cluster based on the coupling of at least two quantum nodes.
