The ability of modern society to move towards quantum communications is dependent on the capacity to realize quantum networks with the ability to securely transmit and share information over long distance and among multiple users. The authors propose a protocol for a scalable quantum network made of modules each consisting of continuous-variable measurement-device independent applied to quantum key distribution, allowing to perform secure quantum conferencing among an arbitrary number of users.
