An international research team, including UCalgary quantum physicists, has taken a big step toward building a high-performing, scalable “quantum internet.”
A functional quantum internet would dramatically change the fields of secure communication, data storage, precision sensing and computing.
In such a network, information stored in quantum bits, or qubits (the basic unit of quantum information) is shared, or teleported, over long distances.
“High-fidelity” (high quality) quantum teleportation of photons (elementary particles of light) is essential for secure long-distance communications and a practical quantum internet.
