Engineers achieve quantum teleportation over active internet cables | "This is incredibly exciting because nobody thought it was possible"


Engineers at Northwestern University have demonstrated quantum teleportation over a fiber optic cable already carrying Internet traffic. This feat, published in the journal Optica, opens up new...

As research advances, we could enter a new era in communication technology, where quantum and traditional networks can coexist to offer unprecedented levels of security and speed. "Our work shows a path towards next-generation quantum and classical networks sharing a unified fiber optic infrastructure. Additionally, the researchers are exploring the possibility of conducting experiments over real-world in-ground optical cables, moving beyond laboratory settings.
