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 ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

It's one thing to dream up a quantum internet that could send hacker-proof information around the world via photons superimposed in different quantum states. It's quite another to physically show it's ...

Imagine an internet where your data can’t be stolen, your messages are completely private and online security is unbreakable. That’s the promise of quantum internet: a futuristic technology that could ...

Quantum teleportation is a fascinating process that involves transferring a particle's quantum state to another distant location, without moving or detecting the particle itself. This process could be ...

Penn engineers have taken quantum networking from the lab to Verizon’s live fiber network, using a silicon “Q-chip” that speaks the same Internet Protocol as the modern web. The system pairs classical ...

Quantum Internet Alliance (QIA) researchers at TU Delft, QuTech, University of Innsbruck, INRIA and CNRS recently announced the creation of the first operating system designed for quantum networks: ...
