To support future quantum internet applications that will enable intra- and even extra-planetary communications, researchers have developed a new teleportation-based, multi-nodal network. The research showed that when the quantum network is fully achieved, it can offer instantaneous speeds, “teleporting” information between nodes in a secure and private way. Check out the details below right now!
In a recent edition of the Nature, researchers from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands detailed the new teleportation-based qubit-transferring system that works between non-neighboring nodes in a quantum network. This is being considered the first step toward realizing an eventual quantum internet that will enable humans to set up multi-planetary internet networks.
Althoug, the entanglement of two qubits has been achieved earlier, the new research has expanded the maximum number of qubits for the entanglement process from two to three. Now, this might sound like a small change but as small as it is, the new research opens up the opportunity for multi-lateral communications instead of just bilateral. This could enable powerful quantum computers in different regions across the world to seamlessly communicate with each other.
