After a team of scientists from a military laboratory in Los Alamos, admitted that they are for almost a two and a half years using a quantum Internet with specially designed routers and effective network of selected users, the media began to wonder what sort of technology is hidden away from the public eye, says Shimon Haber.
You are probably wondering, what is a quantum Internet, and what kind of importance it has?
Just for a moment imagine that all the data between computers is transferred without any sort of “movement” of any particles, and that the security of Internet data is unmatched, because if the “data” does not travel through the network, then it cannot be alienated. Imagine that there is a computer communication that is bordering with pure science fiction, and that looks like mind reading bit with the help of technology.
While civilian scientists are still dealing with the capabilities and performance of the communication, the U.S. military scientists at Los Alamos National Labs are enjoying all the benefits of Internet services on a quantum basis.
In the scientific publications “Technology Review” was revealed that scientists have fully ensured the security of this quantum internet:
“The basic idea was that the measurement of quantum object, such as photons, always changes. Therefore, any sort of hacking and spying on a quantum message leaves a trail that can be observed by all the recipients of the same”.
Dan Nosowitz from PopSci online publication wrote:
“This kind of communication is completely secure and any attempt of encountering the quantum network becomes obvious as physically changing of the transmission, i.e. it changes the quantum properties of the signal”, finishes Mr. Haber.
An operable quantum Internet!
