Saturday Physics for Everyone
Quantum communication uses the quantum properties of photons, such as their ability to affect each other’s states instantaneously no matter their physical separation, to transmit information with absolute security. I will explain the underlying concepts of quantum communication and present some of the progress and pitfalls on the road to a quantum internet. I will also talk about what it is like to work with such strange quantum effects in the lab.
