  Quantum networks providing shared entanglement over a mesh of quantum nodes
will revolutionize the field of quantum information science by offering novel
applications in quantum computation, enhanced precision in networks of sensors
and clocks, and efficient quantum communication over large distances. Recent
experimental progress with individual neutral atoms demonstrates a high
potential for implementing the crucial components of such networks. We
highlight latest developments and near-term prospects on how arrays of
individually controlled neutral atoms are suited for both efficient remote
entanglement generation and large-scale quantum information processing, thereby
providing the necessary features for sharing high-fidelity and error-corrected
multi-qubit entangled states between the nodes. We describe both the
functionality requirements and several examples for advanced, large-scale
quantum networks composed of neutral atom processing nodes.
