Dream of quantum internet inches closer after breakthrough helps beam information over fiber-optic networks Scientists have built a new kind of molecular qubit that could help connect quantum computers over existing telecommunications technology — laying the foundation for a future quantum internet. The new qubit contains a rare-earth element called erbium, which has optical and magnetic properties that allow it to transmit quantum information using the same wavelengths as fiber-optic networks. Because it operates at telecom wavelengths, the qubit can also be integrated more easily into silicon chips, the researchers said in a statement. https://toolcome.com/dream-of-quantum-internet-inches-closer-after-breakthrough-helps-beam-information-over-fiber-optic-networks/
