The Quantum Internet May Be the Beginning of Ultra-secure Non-binary Networks

The internet as we know it is fast, but with the promise of a quantum internet, it may be instant. Researchers are actively addressing challenges to make this a reality.
Today, the conventional internet enatils a coherent stream of photons traveling down a fiber-optic wire, carrying a logical one or zero somewhere around eighty percent the speed of light. Tomorrow, a pair of entangled photons each called qubits are both one and zero (superposition) and send data in near-instantaneous time. That’s quantum internet.
