Researchers from China have set a new record in quantum communication, according to their own statements. Encrypted information has been transported over a distance of more than 100 kilometers – albeit very slowly.
Long Guilu, a physics professor at Tsinghua University, and his team have been researching quantum-based technology for secure direct communication for 20 years. After the first major breakthrough was achieved in 2020, when data was transmitted over a distance of around 18.5 kilometers using the encrypted connection ... Read even more
