While other research groups had successfully transmitted quantum information alongside classical data streams in simulations of the internet, Kumar’s team was the first to teleport a quantum state alongside an actual internet stream.
For anyone not familiar: this leads to nothing, a least at this point.
Entanglement does not allow transfer of data, only mirror. So a Netflix company may be able to directly share an entire movie eventually instantaneously.
This development is not that.
I doubt that would be the eventual use case. This is more likely to be used to make sure no one has looked at data you have sent to a specific individual/party.
Last I checked infinite bandwidth still violates laws of physics, and you still have to abide by the speed of light for information transfer so no truly instantaneous transfers of data
It’s not “bandwidth”. Entanglement doesn’t transfer data.
No one will be instantaneously transferring movies
That’s exactly how entanglement would have to work with data. You’re not “transferring” anything, you’re observing it’s mirror. There is no transfer of anything, you just observe it’s mirrored counterpart, so you’re technically right.
If they find a way to encode something like a movie, the remote side would only need to read. No transfer.
You need to read about the transfer of information being limited to the speed of light regardless of quantum phenomena
Again…not a transfer.
If this happened within the dotcom bubble the bubble would grow so much bigger.
Now everyone reads these headlines with a meh.
We need quantum AI entanglement
