Global first: Scientists teleport quantum information through active fiber-optic networks

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern University have shown that quantum teleportation can work inside fiber-optic cables already carrying real internet traffic. The team demonstrated the feat over more than 30 kilometers of standard telecom fiber, while high-power data streams raced through the same glass strand. The work was led by Prem Kumar, a professor of elect…
