The Leap Nobody’s Talking About: Quantum Computers Can Now Be Networked
NIST researchers just proved that entangled photons can survive 62 kilometers of rough, above-ground commercial fiber optic cable — the same infrastructure carrying your internet. It is the first real-world stress test of quantum networking, and it passed with flying colors. The result means quantum computers may not need their own dedicated fiber to network together. The next challenge is building the transducer that lets today's superconducting machines plug into the light. #QuantumComputing #QuantumNetworking #Entanglement #FiberOptics #DistributedComputing #NIST #QuantumTransducer #QuantumInternet
