Chinese scientists realize quantum teleportation within intercity networkChinese scientists realize quantum teleportation within intercity network | en.people.cn | mb.com.phRecently, scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China accomplished the world’s first quantum teleportation between independent sources in the intercity communication network of Hefei, Anhui province, People’s Daily reported. Quantum teleportation is used to deliver quantum information, which is enciphered in photons, from one place to another. Together, these two research projects demonstrate that it is feasible to conduct quantum teleportation within an intercity network. They have also laid a solid foundation for the construction of a more expansive quantum network in the future. As the technology develops, the transmission of quantum information will be realized, and quantum teleportation – which depends on optical networks – will greatly enhance the security and strength of Internet connections.
