Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

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 ...

Post-quantum security revolves around staying in the race because when quantum arrives, it won’t send a warning. Those who ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

A quantum internet would essentially be unhackable. In the future, sensitive information—financial or national security data, for instance, as opposed to memes and cat pictures—would travel through ...

Data security on the internet is under threat: in the future, quantum computers could decode even encrypted files sent over the internet in no time. Researchers worldwide are, therefore, experimenting ...

A quantum state of light was successfully teleported through more than 30 kilometers (around 18 miles) of fiber optic cable amid a torrent of internet traffic – a feat of engineering once considered ...

Researchers at Harvard University have demonstrated the longest distance fibre transmission between quantum nodes to date, highlighting that the idea of a quantum internet isn't just fanciful thinking ...

A reliable quantum internet is now one step closer to reality. A research team at Stony Brook University is successfully tackling the major challenges of building a quantum internet testbed by ...

A programmable photonic circuit has been developed that can execute various quantum algorithms and is potentially highly scalable. This device could pave the way for large-scale quantum computers ...

Physicists manage to protect quantum information from noise using skyrmions, a key advance for networks and quantum computing.

What just happened? An engineering team at Northwestern University has achieved a breakthrough in quantum teleportation, demonstrating the feasibility of transmitting quantum information alongside ...
