The proposed Microsoft computer is mind-bending even by the standards of the mostly hypothetical world of quantum computing. Modern computers are not unlike the looms of the industrial revol... Read more
Teleporting people through space, as is done in Star Trek, is impossible by the laws of physics. Teleporting information is another matter, however, thanks to the extraordinary world of quan... Read more
Einstein’s scepticism about quantum mechanics may lead to an ultra-secure internet suggests a new paper by researchers from Swinburne University of Technology and Peking University. As... Read more
Quantum cryptography has yet to deliver a truly unbreakable way of sending messages. Quantum entanglement may change that RECENT revelations of online snooping on an epic scale, by governmen... Read more
ETH researchers cannot ”beam“ objects or humans of flesh and blood through space yet, a feat sometimes alluded to in science fiction movies. They managed, however, to teleport information fr... Read more
Satellites could be used to beam down powerful data encryption keys that rely on entangled photos. The vacuum of space could solve the distance problem encountered in sending quantum signals... Read more
On this occasion, however, Einstein was wrong Quantum entanglement, one of the odder aspects of quantum theory, links the properties of particles even when they are separated by large distan... Read more
Quantum communication could be an option for the absolutely secure transfer of data. The key component in quantum communication over long distances is the special phenomenon called entanglem... Read more
