Breaking News: China telecom offer commercial phone service protected by quantum encryption

@F-22Raptor was going nuts with BREAKING NEWS

Those measly 14 km is considered to be revolutionary milestone. WHADDAFUK? US is way behind

It's 43km not 14km...and it is a SUSTAINED connection over a commercial style fiber optic line (not lab ones) with a > 90% accuracy.


Dec. 31 (UPI) -- For the first time, scientists successfully demonstrated sustained, long-distance teleportation of quantum information.

"Quantum teleportation is essential for many quantum information technologies, including long-distance quantum networks," according to the study's authors.

Quantum teleportation is made possible by the quantum phenomenon known as entanglement, which describes two inextricably linked particles, whereby the measure or manipulation of one particle is observed in the other, regardless of time or location.

In the first-of-its-kind demonstration, researchers at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory affiliated with the University of Chicago, successfully teleported quantum information, or qubits, over a fiber-optic network stretching 27 miles.

Researchers actually tested their quantum teleportation technology on two different networks: the Caltech Quantum Network and the Fermilab Quantum Network.

During their trips across the two networks, built using a combination of commercial equipment and state-of-the-art single-photon detectors, the teleported photon particles maintained their fidelity at a rate of 90 percent.

The breakthrough, described this month in the journal PRX Quantum, suggests a viable quantum internet could soon be a reality.

"We're thrilled by these results," said study co-author Panagiotis Spentzouris.

"This is a key achievement on the way to building a technology that will redefine how we conduct global communication," said Spentzouris, head of the Fermilab quantum science program.

Both networks are compatible with current telecommunication infrastructure, as well as with emerging quantum data processing and storage technologies.

We already have a 2000km one between shanghai and Beijing for years mate.

Yes, you have a dedicated main trunk. But why does only the main trunk have your quantum solution vs the rest of your fiber network? This solution is for all those other lines... that's why they are talking about finally having a quantum internet. It can handle the last mile.

Apparently you don't know we can do quantum comms on normal fiber lines too. Just Google and don't be lazy. Notice how that article did not do a comparison on current efforts while innocently omitting any Chinese effort. A balanced article indeed. Lol

Are you willing to admit China is way superior compared to US in quantum communications? Or still looking down on China as you did with the Chinese Space Agency? By the way lack of funding was also the most important reason why Chinese Space programs was behind in the initial years but considering what China has done and is doing within the 27 yrs of existence i say Chinese engineers are moving with lightning speed. NASA is definitely not 4 decades ahead of China that is for certain. Only you and the trolls think it is.
