For quantum computing to take off, quantum networks need to be developed as well. This research shows how existing infrastructure can help.
Researchers at Northwestern University in the US have successfully demonstrated quantum entanglement using fiber optic cables that were carrying internet traffic. This feat opens up the possibility of using existing global infrastructure for quantum sensing and computing applications, a press release said.
Kumar’s lab has shown that this would be unnecessary as quantum data can be teleported using fiber optic cables while carrying internet data. In their previous work, the team studied the scattering mechanism that generates noise when strong classical communications and single photons travel in fiber optic cable. Jordan Thomas, a Ph.D candidate in Kumar’s lab, told Interesting Engineering via email.
