On February 03–06, 2022, the Workshop on Entanglement Assisted Communication Networks (EACN) took place at
Physikzentrum Bad Honnef. This event was a joint workshop of the Emmy Noether Group “Theoretical Quantum System
Design” supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and the Institute for Communications Engineering
supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with the project QR.X.
