While the idea of a quantum internet has a huge amount of potential, getting it hooked up to the regular old internet has its challenges. Now a new study hints at how existing and future networks ...

Quantum memories can extend network range via repeaters. A new approach uses 3D-nanoprinted 'light cages' filled with atomic ...

Quantum teleportation has finally stepped out of pristine laboratory loops and into the messy reality of live internet cables ...

Post-quantum security revolves around staying in the race because when quantum arrives, it won’t send a warning. Those who ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

A quantum internet would essentially be unhackable. In the future, sensitive information—financial or national security data, for instance, as opposed to memes and cat pictures—would travel through ...

A quantum state of light was successfully teleported through more than 30 kilometers (around 18 miles) of fiber optic cable amid a torrent of internet traffic – a feat of engineering once considered ...

Data security on the internet is under threat: in the future, quantum computers could decode even encrypted files sent over the internet in no time. Researchers worldwide are, therefore, experimenting ...

A programmable photonic circuit has been developed that can execute various quantum algorithms and is potentially highly scalable. This device could pave the way for large-scale quantum computers ...

A reliable quantum internet is now one step closer to reality. A research team at Stony Brook University is successfully tackling the major challenges of building a quantum internet testbed by ...

What just happened? An engineering team at Northwestern University has achieved a breakthrough in quantum teleportation, demonstrating the feasibility of transmitting quantum information alongside ...
