Experiments generate quantum entanglement over optical fibres across three real cities, marking progress towards networks that could have revolutionary applications.
Can’t wait until the Internet consortium tells Comcast they can’t use another misleading name
Meanwhile, in rural areas, dialup is still a thing.
And companies will charge 2x what fiber costs because “quantum Internet”.
A very useful video that explains what Quantum Internet is… and what it isn’t:

TL/DW: A big misconception here has to do with Quantum entanglement. Quantum Entanglement in Quantum Internet doesn’t mean that you can transfer data at speeds faster than light.
It’s true that this connection would be “ultra secure” but this would be very inefficient (slow) and it wouldn’t be reliable in a noisy environment. It would probably be most useful for some sort of authentication protocol/key sharing.
