New Steps Towards the Quantum Internet
Canadian and Chinese scientists successfully transferred information from one place to another using the fiber optic network without loading it to anything physical.
The studies, the findings of which were published in the journal Nature Photonics, two different teams teleported information miles away by using a fiber-optic network. It was stated that the technique with which the information teleported was different than the one in the "Star Trek" movie franchise, and the mechanisms used in the studies could be seen as one of the building blocks of the quantum internet of the future.
As a part of a study conducted by the Canadian scientist Wolfgang Tittel and his colleagues, the quantum state of a photon teleported 8.2 kilometers away from the city of Calgary. In another study, Jiang Cang and Cian-Vey Pan of the University of Science and Technology of China used a different mechanism to beam information on a 30-kilometer fiber-optic network in the city of Hefei.
The teleportation of information across long distances is regarded as an important step towards the extremely secure communication quantum cryptography promises.
