Existing Fiber Used for Quantum Encryption in NYC’s Streets
Researchers at Qunnect successfully transmitted thousands of entangled photons over a commercial fiber-optic line in New York City, demonstrating the potential for using existing infrastructure for quantum encryption and computing. The team employed polarization entanglement, creating photons with wavelengths compatible with the fiber network. By transmitting non-entangled photons alongside the entangled ones, they were able … Read more
