Qunnect Entanglement Source
Carmela Padavich-Callaghan
In an office overlooking an old shipyard in Brooklyn, I’m learning that I may have walked on a tangle of quantum lights on my way here.
Since the night before, Qunnect researchers have been sending light particles, or photons, through a 34-kilometer fiber-optic loop beneath New York City. Their approach preserves the special quantum properties of entanglement, ultimately allowing this loop to be used as a starting point for the quantum internet.
In the quantum internet, devices communicate by exchanging quantum particles.
