Quantum Data Transmitted Through Standard Fiber Optic Cable

A recent quantum computing study claims a breakthrough in transmitting "quantum data," paving the way for a quantum internet. Researchers stored and retrieved photons, potential carriers of quantum information, using a novel method. By aligning wavelengths between the transmitter and receiver, they achieved efficient storage and retrieval, crucial for long-distance quantum communication. This advance builds on recent breakthroughs in quantum networking, offering promising steps toward practical quantum communication systems.
