Titled Quantum Laser Across the Sound (Q-LATS), the project aims to test free-space quantum communication that could herald the future of quantum networks.

Scientists have begun a new project to test shooting out three laser beams from a telescope atop Kline Tower on Yale University’s campus. Traveling 27 miles over Long Island Sound, the beams are expected to be received by a similar telescope housed on top of a hospital at Stony Brook University.Scientists revealed that the aim of the project is to look to expand how quantum information can be sent and received, potentially setting the course for future quantum computing infrastructures.

A third partner in the project, Brookhaven National Laboratory, is linked to Stony Brook’s quantum network through fiber optics.Researchers revealed that the locations selected for the project are key, as in the United States, there are not many places like this with a body of water in between two major research institutions and between two different states.Pair of entangled photonsFor the project, they will generate a pair of entangled photons , then shoot them out over the Sound.
