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 ...

Imagine an internet where your data can’t be stolen, your messages are completely private and online security is unbreakable. That’s the promise of quantum internet: a futuristic technology that could ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable ...

Penn engineers have taken quantum networking from the lab to Verizon’s live fiber network, using a silicon “Q-chip” that speaks the same Internet Protocol as the modern web. The system pairs classical ...

Imagine the benefits if the entire internet got a game-changing upgrade to speed and security. This is the promise of the quantum internet—an advanced system that uses single photons to operate.

The idea of a quantum internet has long been a subject of fascination and speculation. Its promise of secure, instantaneous communication over vast distances, without the threat of interception or ...

The quantum internet offers immense promise, as it aims to use things like superposition and entanglement to create a super-secure internet. These phenomena rely on qubits (quantum bits), and a new ...

Quantum networking has long sounded like science fiction, but a series of recent lab results is turning it into a practical engineering problem. Researchers are now pushing fragile quantum states ...

Silicon Valley technology titans IBM Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc. are looking beyond artificial intelligence to the next big thing: quantum computing. Today they announced plans to collaborate on a ...

Scientists at the University of Chicago and partner institutions have developed molecular qubits compatible with standard telecommunications networks—a key step toward a future “quantum internet.” The ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, engineers at the University of Pennsylvania brought quantum networking out of the lab and onto commercial fiber-optic cables using the same Internet Protocol (IP) ...
