1st-ever quantum, classical internet merger achieved via single optical fiber | This novel quantum experiment has the potential to advance telecommunications.


The Leibniz University Hannover researchers have designed a novel “transmitter and receiver” approach for sending entangled photons across optical fibers.

The Leibniz University Hannover researchers have designed a novel “transmitter and receiver” approach for sending entangled photons across optical fibers. This is a significant advance because it allows both traditional internet data (delivered by laser pulses) and quantum information (carried by entangled photons) to share the same fiber optic cable. Previously, entangled photons consumed an optical fiber’s full bandwidth, making regular data transfer impossible.
