New Study on Quantum Teleportation published
Article reports on new Breakthrough in Teleportation: Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have recently demonstrated the transmission of Quantum Information using single photons. They achieved a 94% fidelity. This was made possible by the use of a nanophotonic platform that has the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency of Quantum Communication. Although […]
Progress in Quantum Networks
RPI lays the Foundation for Future Connected Quantum Systems: The development of reliable and scalable Quantum Networks is one of the greatest challenges in modern physics. A key prerequisite for this is the use of entangled Quantum Particles: they enable the fast and tap-proof transmission of Quantum Information over long distances. However, the entanglement disappears […]
