1. Apparatus for quantum communication in a quantum network configured to:
create an entangled pair of quantum information carriers comprising a first quantum information carrier and a second quantum information carrier;
transmit the first quantum information carrier to a remote device;
store the second quantum information carrier in a quantum memory, wherein the quantum memory comprises a crystal doped with rare earth ions, a solid-state device with point defects, an ensemble of laser-cooled atoms, or a warm vapour;
receive, from the remote device, information about a phase correction related to a transmission of the first quantum information carrier; and
apply the phase correction via an electromagnetic pulse to the second quantum information carrier stored in the quantum memory.
