I think this is mostly way over my head.

Is the goal to extend the quantum state of a quantum computer so it could interact with other quantum computers on a quantum network without collapsing the wave function?

Yes, precisely. One great application of this would be connecting many smaller quantum computers into one large quantum computer, similar to what we do today for supercomputers. It's impossible to build one huge CPU with PetaFLOPS capabilities, but you can put thousands of normal CPUs together if you have a network.
