We show how to transmit quantum communication reliably between the nodes of a quantum network. The nodes are represented by atoms, stored in a trap. The communication is accomplished via photons, which are coupled to the atoms by a high‐ Q cavity. We discuss the effects of decoherence and ways to correct for the corresponding errors.
