Thanks! I would say this was just as much innovation at the physical layer (running quantum network operations in real time) than at the link layer and above (implementing for the first time an entanglement distribution service, keeping track of entangled qubits and states delivered, assigning them to different quantum applications and so on).

The link layer we implemented is completely agnostic to the physical layer implementation, so the job for the developers on a different platform would be to be able to receive a set of instructions from the link layer and to execute the required operation on the hardware and reply with one of the expected outcomes, you can see a list of commands/replies here
Then you can run the exact same Python-based apps we ran on our diamond devices on other platforms, with no other changes (the only caveat is that if the platform does not support some quantum gates, the link layer needs to be made aware of that, such that it can convert the application to use a different set of gates)
