'Impossible' quantum teleportation achieved on working internet lines
For years, experts believed quantum communications would require its own private highway system, separate from the bustling freeways of classical internet traffic. Now, scientists have proven those experts wrong. The post ‘Impossible’ quantum teleportation achieved on working internet lines appeared first on Study Finds.
No longer fantastic: the first teleportation in history was carried out in the USA: EADaily
EADaily, December 22nd, 2024. American physicists from Northwestern University (NWU) for the first time carried out quantum teleportation at a distance of 30 km using a conventional optical communication line. Moreover, the teleportation took place at the moment when the line was actively used for Internet connection…

First demonstration of quantum teleportation over busy Internet cables
Quantum teleportation could provide near-instant communication over long distances. But, inside Internet cables, photons needed for teleportation are lost within the millions of light particles required for classical communications. A new study quantified light scattering to find exact areas to place photons to keep them safe from other particles. The approach successfully worked in experiments carrying regular Internet traffic.
