Quantum communication based on quantum mechanics is a secure communication technology,which can provide unconditional security between communication parties in principle. Recently,quantum communication technology and its practical engineering have been regarded by many counties and regions such as the US,European Union,China and Japan. With the engineering development of quantum communication technology,it has been progressing from point-to-point communications to network applications,including local area networks and wide area networks. Furthermore,global quantum communication is developing. In the review,we summarize in detail the development of the quantum communication networks built by various countries,and introduce the plans of quantum satellites.

Quantum communication is a rising field which combines classical communication and quantum mechanics. It has aroused scientists's great interests for its many advantages such as the fast speed of translation, the good secretary and the long-distance communication. This article introduces the recent development of quantum communication and looks into its prospect.
